Off to Urgent Care

Of course my husband who has felt bad all day decided after 10 pm he must go to Urgent Care. So I drive and we are at Scripps Green Urgent Care. We get right into a room but it has been over an hour and no one has checked on us. I don’t see any one in the halls. The place does not appear to be busy. I am glad I am not sick here with a fever like when I went to the ER at Kaiser.

We wait. Last time we were here the service was quicker but the service was poor. They gave him an infection and did not give him the proper equipment on Friday,  Luckily he saw his regular Primary care and got antibiotics just in time —Monday

I ran into someone and she said she would have our nurse check in with us.  But another 15 minutes goes by. I found the nurse and they are very busy. They do not check on patients except for every two hours. We have only been here 1 1/2 hour. I didn’t know about not checking for two hours. The nurse said there is a patient in front of him so it could be a few more hours before a Dr sees my husband.

Note to self- don’t go to a Urgent care

12:20 am someone came in to examine him. They found something unusual and want to drain it and look for pus. Dr came back and put lotocaine , Benadryl and something to numb it before the shot.at 12:30 am.

Dr came back with shot and said to wait 5 min.

The night nurse came to do blood pressure.  He was very friendly and nice.  We were finished by 2 am and then left to pick up the drugs at a nearby pharmacy.
