Clinical Trial Summary

Over the years, there has been an increase in the flow of emergency rooms, which is gradually leading to an overcrowding of emergency unit. This overcrowding is multifactorial with, for example, a decrease in the outpatient care in family medicine and specialized medicine, emergency services unsuitable at the level of premises ... In parallel, investigator note in recent years facilitated access to internet and especially to GAFA which is the acronym for Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple. As a result, patients have 24-hour access to medical information via websites, blogs and social networks. This information of, often, unreliable medical information can lead to ambiguity among patients about the need for urgent or delayed intervention in the management of their symptoms. In fact, "everything becomes urgent". To date, in France, no study has evaluated the impact and prevalence of consulting a website for medical purposes before consulting an emergency service. The objective of this research will be to assess, in patients presenting in an emergency department, the prior consultation of medical information on a website, the impact on the emergency consultation decision and the relevance of this consultation.
