I have been sick for 2 1/2 weeks now. Today I was determined to go to the Dr to see what could be done to speed up the process. I took an early lunch to go over to an urgent care center. A few years ago I went there and it was quick and easy.
Today it was missing. Replaced actually by a medical supply company or some other non doctor medical office.
Hitting up the insurance providers website, A minute clinic near the apartment was the best option at this point. I looked it up and called to see what the coverage and copayment is. I was ready to try office # 2.
I drove strait to the CVS that housed the clinic, the nurse practitioner had just left and apparently wasn't to be back the rest of the week. Apparently they are mostly for flu shots and not as much for the minor illnesses listed on the webpage. My coworker had the same issue when going to a different clinic near her house. she showed up to find that the NP was not in and the nurse left behind could give the flue shot and not much more.
The nurse gave me directions to a different cvs about 10 miles away saying a NP was there. I took the directions, picked up a sinous cleaning contraption that my mother has been praising for ages and went home. I'll make it to a doctor eventually.
