Treatment of ambulant patients by a general practitioner within a university hospital's emergency department - follow-up study of patients' behaviour shortly afterwards.

Consequently our findings suggest that the ED itself plays a minor role in navigating patients' utilisation of medical treatment. PMID: 30022895 [PubMed - in process]
