plus, I would NEVER call the "doc in a box" for getting stitches....they'd just charge me at least $75 to refer me to someone else

I don't understand - that's exactly what every urgent care facility I've seen is set up to handle. Something that needs attention fairly quickly but isn't a life-saving emergency.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant by "doc in the box" - I consider my "doc in the box" the doctor I go to, if I absolutely HAVE to go for a referral, or generic medication, or something to get non-specialist advice on, i.e. ear infection.....I do NOT go to her for other major issues....she's useless.
