Let me recap:
1. Patient separates shoulder. While painful, and should be addressed in a reasonable length of time (up to 72 hours, let's say) to prevent scar tissue and permanent loss of motion.
2. Patient suffers a brain aneurysm, which can cause immediate death.
Which one would be more likely to be called an "emergency?"
Have a great day.
