It'd also called the ED in the US

I've been all over the USA and I've only seen ER for emergency room. I'm curious where have you seen in the USA it's called ED?

A few different nurses I came to know

I think the divide between ER or ED is whether you're a hospital insider or not.

(Note UK uses A&E as their name)
