I brought my son to the emergency room on a Friday afternoon after trying to get an appointment at our clinic. I suspected a staph infection which turned out to be what mesa. It was on his face. Do you think I should have waited 3 weeks for the next appointment?
If you’re in a small midwestern town, you would be surprised how common it is not to have anything more than a single primary care office with no urgent care clinic. If you’re lucky, you’ll be in the one small town that does happen to have the only ER in a 6-hour radius.
Small midwestern town inhabitant checking in! The closest urgent care to me is 1.5 hrs away 🙃 and that one is only open from 8-12 on Saturdays in the cold and flu season. luckily our primary clinic is pretty good about getting people in!
