True. Good suggestions.
We have a couple of good urgent cares by us. It’s a good place to go to if it’s weekend and you don’t want want to wait till your GP is available. It’s usually a good plan…until it isn’t.
My husband has an issue with “bothering” people as bd making phone calls. His anxiety gets on the way. He finds showing up places easier.
My eye doctor once told me to never go to urgent care with anything eye related as they don’t have proper equipment and don’t have the training. I stupidly went twice.
Both I and my my husband hate taking days off work so urgent care is our friend and they are open when doctors are closed. As about ER I think I’ve been to ER only once in my life as a patient. ER scares me
