Don’t go to urgent care for anything serious, just don’t.

I’ve only gone a few times and every time they misdiagnosed and mis-treated.

I don’t think that’s universally true. I go to one and they are VERY good. They don’t take medicaid patients, and only take medicare if you have supplemental insurance.

Yes. We take time to decide on whether to go to Urgent Care or the ER.

I got a 2nd degree burn last month on my leg- ER.

Dog bite 6 months ago- Urgent care.

I hope you take your wife to another place to be looked at. That sounds painful.

There ya go, avoid the doc in a box. Either go to your own doctor or go to a real ER.

Don't ever go to a Centura hospital either. I had a blood clot in my leg and called ahead. Told them that I had a blood clot and that I would need a wheelchair by the time I got in and then described that my leg was white from my knee down and the pain was excruciating. They said "come on in" I got there and after the same thing, blood pressure, exam, etc. They said that they couldn't treat a blood clot there. They gave me 20mg of morphine that didn't help a bit, kicked a guy with a heart attack out of an ambulance and rushed me twenty miles back to where I started from and then twenty miles beyond that to another hospital. I almost lost my leg because of them.
