Transcript of Reasons for going to urgent care clinics
If you are suffering from any injury or illness, you require immediate care, but it isn't serious to warrant a visit to the hospital emergency room.
In your urgent care center you don't want to refill your prescriptions right? Because it takes two seconds but they need to watch your weight,make sure your immunizations are up to date, and discuss appropriate screenings, like mammograms. So don't forget to choose your urgent care.
If you're bleeding at that time, you can go to urgent care immediately.
Usually later in the evening and morning is busiest time so you can't control when you get hurt or sick, but if you can, try to go in the late morning or early afternoon mid- week, when wait times are typically shorter you will get an appointment easily.
When you're having chest pain we may know that might be a heart attack or not, in that case you don't need to go to urgent care. You should call an ambulance for ER treatment in hospital.
