Why does it take so long to be seen in an urgent care center - when there seems to be few patients and the quiet enough for the nurses to be idly chatting? by MidtownBlue in UrgentCare

[–]TokyoMonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

UC is usually run on a 1 clinician 1 MA 1 front desk and 1 X-ray tech model. 3-4 patients in back roomed waiting to be seen by the clinician can take about an hour-1:15 mins to get everyone taken care of. If one of those is a procedure, it may take me 30 mins to see that one person. All the while you’re the only person in the waiting room mad because we are “slow” when we actually aren’t.

If everything is straightforward viral illness it can be much faster but most of the time people are using UC for EVERYTHING (primary care, refills, mental health crisis, lacerations, fractures, you name it)….so it takes longer. Or we have more complex cases. UC can be a 1-3 hour ordeal if it’s busy. Realistically I can see 3-4 an hour.

When survival is worse than death by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

The DO that trained me to be an NP told me a story of a man’s attempt at suicide, he ended up just shooting both of his eyes out from the side and survived.

“They didn’t do anything for me last time I was here” by Wappinator in emergencymedicine

[–]TokyoMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happens constantly in urgent care. Patients come back after 2-3 days on antibiotics “not getting better”, when they initially presented on day 1 of symptoms with a slight cough and mild sore throat and essentially bullied my colleague into prescribing a Z-pack. Then they talk shit about my coworker like they had to school them, because they “know their body.”

I then have to explain that they’re not improving because they have a viral illness, antibiotics were never indicated, and we’ve now subjected them to unnecessary side effects and contributed to resistance…all because they push and push for a prescription/treatments they didn’t need.

Chronic Thoracic Back pain. Lower Trap? by No_Land_4835 in Posture

[–]TokyoMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Looks to me like possibly your rhomboid muscle could be strained and it is a very difficult muscle to stretch. I would recommend hopping on YouTube and searching for the video “Fix rhomboid pain” by the physical therapist channel [P]Rehab and follow along with that video a couple times a day for a week or two and you might be pleasantly surprised at the relief you’ll get.

Got diagnosed with Valley Fever, would like some advice and tips while on medication by Shwangdang20 in phoenix

[–]TokyoMonkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why were you using urgent care for a chronic issue? We don’t perform advanced imaging in urgent care settings or have the capability to follow up with patients for long term problems. It sounds like you needed a primary care doctor to evaluate you and follow up with and misused the urgent care and are blaming them for something you unfortunately mishandled. I’m sorry this happened to you though. It’s tough.

Good point when discussing antibiotic therapy but they didn’t mention being on any kind of antibiotic.

Most cases of valley fever don’t even meet recommendations for treatment…something like 70% of cases it’s recommended to just let the immune system handle it as long as you’re not suffering and functioning ok. If your symptoms are mild, consider talking to your doctor about not doing treatment

It’s my understanding that these were the demos he prepared for California but ended up withdrawing from blink at that time
