Yes. When a UTI rears its ugly head, Urgent Care is my best friend. My orthopedic surgeon said a UTI can get into the bloodstream quickly and compromise my artificial hip. I’m taking no chances and not waiting for an appointment at my doctor’s office.

Have also used Urgent Care for a medium burn at work on New Year’s Eve when my doc’s office was closed. Once my cat bit me — didn’t want to take a pill — so I walked in for treatment and Tetanus shot.

Long ago when I taught at a private hippie school I had no insurance & got a UTI. I waited too long & it went systemic & I was hospitalized for a week.

I learned my lesson, never again wait!
