This is a really great idea currently being used in Scotland. What a smart idea this is! Hello, CDC! We could use something like this over here...
It is a questionnaire for patients to describe symptoms, and advises them on how to proceed. Check out what it tells you about chest pain, for example.
This makes so much sense. Why can't we do this? It does not cover every situation, no doubt, but if we are dealing with many people sick at once, this is better than just waiting for them to all show up at the ER.
