It was a Sunday morning......and NO they weren't busy....and I asked if I should go to an immediate care facility....they said "No" - we have two tracks....you're going into the immediate care track.....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.....We consider ourselves in charge of our own healthcare, and make our own choices....this was the choice we made that morning.
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.
