The ENT specialist's experience of emergencies is usually influenced by a process of prior selection in the GP surgery or in a general Casualty Department. A survey of 1,000 consecutive patients presenting to a 24 hour open access ENT Casualty service is presented. For a variety of reasons, over half of these patients had never sought their G.P.'s advice for their ENT complaint but preferred the hospital service. The value of even a brief exposure to ENT casualty work for GP trainees is demonstrated.
耳鼻喉科专家处理急症的经验通常受到在全科医生诊所或普通急诊部预先筛选过程的影响。本文介绍了一项对连续1000名前往24小时开放的耳鼻喉科急诊服务就诊患者的调查。由于各种原因，这些患者中有一半以上从未就其耳鼻喉科疾病向全科医生咨询过，而是更倾向于医院服务。这证明了即使是让全科医生实习生短暂接触耳鼻喉科急诊工作也是有价值的。
