nah I think I'm on the side of team doctor here.

You have a real medical concern? See your PCP and insist on referrals and tests. ER Doctors have to weed out legitimate medical concerns with the very illegitimate and it is not the place to show up repeatedly to get treatment for unspecific pain. Obviously in extreme and emergency pain you go to the ER, but that's not what's being showcased in the skit.

"You made a skit about scenario A, and I was once in completely different Scenario B so I'm upset now!" is a bonkers take.
Yeah you probably should be going to the urgent care and not the ER, but on the other hand, the urgent care I go to now has a big sign up about how they will no longer prescribe painkillers at all. So if you legitimately need painkillers, where else can you go but the hospital?
