  1. Wife got new knives for #Christmas. She is currently at the #UrgentCare getting stitches.

  2. #CovidVaccines Reduced #Children’s Likelihood of #ER and #UrgentCare Visits, the #CDC Reported
    The #vaccines were found to decrease the risk of needing medical care in the first six months after vaccination by 76% in children under 4, and by 56% in children 5 to 17
    Data, published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the agency’s premier publication provided a striking counterpoint to the administration’s recent rhetoric about the vaccines

  3. @circular tedious? ...yes starving to death is tedious. i know. im doing it right now myself. lack of safety to even take a shit due to continual bombing is tedious as fuck. 600 children murdered in a month is a tedious amount of bodies to bury and more so when hundreds more are killed per day. this isnt about ignoring others in pain...this is simple triage and #Palestine needs #urgentcare before its wiped out by right now daily bombs murder and starvation.

  4. You know that feeling when you've been sick for 9 days, you get up to go to urgent care, and you discover someone's broken into your garage? Yeah, I do. I know my GOLPH Card Game is the BEST card game, but if you want some, just ASK:

  5. The #Trump admin on Wed moved to drop an #EmergencyAbortion case in #Idaho.

    The #DOJ filed a motion to #dismiss the lawsuit, which was originally filed by the #Biden admin, in a reversal that could have national implications for #UrgentCare.

    The suit had argued that #ER #doctors treating #pregnant women had to provide terminations if needed to save their lives or to avoid serious #health consequences in ID, which has one of the country’s strictest #AbortionBans.

  6. Just read an article in the Los Angeles Times about hospital #ER wait times...

    > Loma Linda University Medical Center ranked third in the country for how long
    > its patients typically spent at the emergency department, with a median time of
    > nearly seven hours, based on federal data.

    #Canadians are now picking themselves up off the floor, #laughing.

    Here in #Saskatchewan, the literal birthplace of #medicare, we would be absolutely THRILLED if ER wait times averaged "nearly seven hours". Twelve hours is more typical. And that less-than-seven-hours counts as third-worst in the #USA?

  7. What’s Up, Doc?

    I just booked a doctor’s appointment for after work tonight.

    In other words…

  12. Lucrative #Hospital Profiteering

    Even #Doctors Like Me Are Falling Into This #Medical Bill Trap

    “As the three employees closed up shop for the day, I reflected on how #UrgentCare centers filled a perfect niche between the overkill of an #Emergency room and the near impossibility of snagging an immediate #Orthopedic appointment.

    But this is #HealthCare in America, and nothing ever closes up tidily. Two weeks later a bill arrived”

  13. Today I watched two people get turned away from the #UrgentCare clinic I go to. They both were told very loudly (I'm on the opposite side of the room) that their #healthinsurance wouldn't cover them and they would need to pay out of pocket. Both walked out of the clinic with no care.

    This is disgusting, incredibly immoral and absolutely unacceptable. The horrors of the #americanhealthcaresystem are real when people are refused care for lack of money. People need to live.

  14. My partner had a seemingly minor head injury four days ago, but their #concussion symptoms got worse rather than better. Yesterday the #NHS phone helpline said to go to #UrgentCare, and that they'd call an ambulance if they couldn't get a lift. So I dropped them off at 6pm feeling queasy, dizzy and headachy. They weren't seen by a doctor for twelve hours, and at 6am the consultant told them "no treatment, you just need rest" 😭😭😭

    I'm furious. What a futile and counterproductive rigmarole! 🤬

  15. Grocery Chain Offering Sites for Cancer Biomarker Trial

    The #Kroger #grocery store chain in the U.S. is establishing a clinical trial network through its urgent care centers, starting with a study of #microbiome #cancer #biomarkers.

  16. Chatting with a pediatrician and professor in #Urgentcare . Our numbers in #Wisconsin for #RSV #influenza and #COVID are down by double digits. He thinks we burned through the population and now have herd immunity at the moment, a combination of good #vaccination and acquired immunity. You know--that place we could have been at if everyone had gotten vaccinated the first time around? I hope so, because seeing waiting rooms full of sniffling, coughing, feverish folks is exhausting day after day.

  17. My grown up doctor wish is for my colleagues in #UrgentCare, #EmergencyMedicine, and for goodness sake my fellow #PrimaryCare docs to successfully resist the urge to throw azithromycin (aka a Z Pack) at everything this holiday week.

  18. @dynamicsymmetry omg, YES! YES! I work at #Urgentcare and 30% of our influenza tests are positive. It's not even about #Covid for me--I don't want the flu. I don't want a 2 week course of an upper respiratory infection. I don't want to deal with cold symptoms and feel like shit and still have to work. If I can wear a mask at the store to avoid that and at work, I'm on board. I remind people I'm testing we're seeing this rise in #URI because no one is masking.

  19. @reverendofdoubt This is true. At #Urgentcare it wasn't even the patient volume, it was the #staffing. I came in on my day off to help. To be honest, it was partly because my 10 hour shift on xmas day was such a breeze. 😊 thanks for being there!

  20. If you have to go to #urgentcare, do it a half hour before the joint closes; the waiting room staff is singing, debating ratings on #beeradvocate… the kids are getting wild, man

    Me, new at #Urgentcare : "oh, this would be a cool paper..." "Oh, someone should do a study on this..." "Why aren't we collecting information on..." Also me: not in any degree programs right now. 😂 If I was, I'm sure I'd have a line of unfinished papers. ;)
