Urgent Care?

So, the lesson I learned last night on my late night trip to Urgent Care is that you should not go alone. Or, you should just self diagnose yourself and go to Walgreen's and get Benadryl and allergy meds before you waste over three hours.

Another good idea, bring a book when you go the ER or Urgent Care...although, with my luck, there wouldn't be any wait if I did that.

Last night I got to Urgent Care and there were some obnoxious teenagers in the parking lot whistling at me and yelling something about my car. It couldn't have been anything good because I drive a 1996 Chevy Cavalier that is dinged up but loved. I shrugged it off and continued on.

The hospital security guy asked me how my night was going. Obviously if I'm going to Urgent Care it isn't the greatest, right? I guess it was nice that he asked though.

The worst part is yet to come though.

The lady at the check-in desk made me wear a mask to cover my nose and mouth since I have "flu-like symptoms." So, I looked like a fool in the waiting room itching away at my legs and coughing up a lung but it gets better. There was a woman and her little girl there waiting to be seen too. The little girl appeared to be healthy but the mother was not. She threw up into the basin thing she was holding which also set my gag reflex off and I threw up too. So I was the freak in the mask, scratching away at my legs and throwing up into trash bins.

I waited forever, too! Urgent Care sucks and they don't make it seem so urgent either. If it's going to take longer than an hour they should come up with a new name for Urgent Care...just saying.

Next time I am going right to Walgreen's and getting ibuprofen and Benadryl..and bringing a friend to protect me.
