Race fans wait outside the emergency room of Halifax Health Medical Center where Ryan Newman was taken after he was involved in a crash during the final lap of the NASCAR Daytona 500 auto race at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 17, 2020, in Daytona Beach.

On this week’s program, we took a closer look at emergency rooms and how to make them work best for you when you truly need them. Our guests were:

  • Dr. Brittany Beel, an ER physician at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville
  • Dr. David Caro, an ER physician at UF Health Jacksonville

We also spoke with author Dr. Mary O’Connor about her book, “Taking Care of You: The Empowered Woman’s Guide to Better Health.”
