@RedDeerGuy1 :: I don’t see the connect between that. Ideally you would get bumped up in the queue if you had a heart attack compared to the guy that fell off the ladder.
At least that is how it works here. And I am in the United States of shit healthcare.
I think you might be saying you want a 24 hour place to go for minor stuff and not have to wait. Which is reasonable. We have urgent care which is that middle tier. But you still have to spend 45 minutes sorting out your insurance shit.
I was just there .. Maybe you saw my comment about my HIV test a while ago. That was Urgent Care.
NOT JOKING ABOUT THIS…
So after getting my insurance shit squared away I was sitting in the lobby with my mom. Just waiting to be called in. We were the only people. 8AM sat morning.
Two women run in and one is obviously is serous fucking pain being guided in. She got bleach in her eyes and basically needed her eyes flushed. She was screaming. The lady at the counter was trying to get insurance info and everyone was screaming.
Keep in mind the urgent care I was at was in a industrial part of town. So bleach might not have been Clorox. But a industrial grade.
I love my mom.. She yelled, “You fucking cunt, flush her eyes”. And doctors started running out and helped her.
It is absurd. Urgent Care.. On a empty Saturday morning thought “insurance” before “help the injured”.
