emergency room (er for short) is actually more appropriate to translate into first aid.

Go to the emergency room for all life-threatening situations, such as gunshot wounds, coma, massive bleeding, heart disease, etc.

what is emergency treatment and nursing, and when to go to emergency treatment and nursing?

Urgencare is aimed at situations that are not so urgent but need immediate assistance. It is similar to domestic emergency, but it is a community clinic in scale.

ER is used to cure diseases and save lives! Well-equipped, doctors in all disciplines can operate. Even if the price is expensive, it is appropriate to call it sky-high price!
