Current Events > Urgent care doctors are awful

(+) Yeah! (+)

Whats with their attitudes? Just got back from seeing one for sti testing and she was so passive aggressive. Never had this issue when I schedule a visit normally anywhere whether its private practice or at a hospital.

Is it all urgent care doctors, or just this particular one you saw today?

I love my urgent care doctors

Urgent Care Doctors are just way too over worked to care due to the pandemic. Doesnt make it right but its the way things are.

All the ones Ive been to which has been three. Im done with it after today. Just regular scheduling from now on.

Is an sti test something that normally requires urgent care? I always figured is was for stuff like broken bones, needing stitches, abnormally high fever, stuff where common sense tells you that you really shouldn't wait to have it checked out.

I mean, they could have easily come across as unprofessional, which is bad. But I could see why if they felt you were wasting their time.

This is the issue.

when someone is passive aggressive I call them out on it every time

only way to handle that

Mine just send me to the ER with inaccurate diagnoses anyway, no point bothering with the middle man lol.

I was having kidney stones. And that pain was so bad I could not write. And the front lady person was like I can't help you if you don't fill this out. And I was in so much pain. My writing was un readable. And they went my medication to the wrong place and I was in pain for days because of it.

I slipped on black ice during the last ice storm this February at night. I thought I broke my wrist. Even my mom thought so too. Decided to go to urgent care to get it checked out. The nurses seemed agitated and the doctor seemed like he wanted to get the hell out of there. An hour and a half there listening to screaming kids, I wanted to go home too.

Ive been dealing with chronic cough, muscle aches and pain on top of my junk for three weeks. During this stretch, I have also felt dizzy and lightheaded a couple of times.

Some of the stuff you mentioned requires er not urgent care.

I had a 3 hour wait. A diabetic stopped breathing.

Nurses have been nice for me for urgent care. Its just the doctors that are being pricks.

Oh, remember going to one for acne among other problems, and she prescribed $300 cream. She didn't understand that I came there because I'm poor. It was basically a more expensive retinol than that at the store.

OK, makes sense to me. I was thinking you popped in for a quick blood test or some kind of swab. But showing some kind of symptoms is a different story and understandable why you don't want to make an appointment a few weeks out.

:(. i sprained my ankle years ago walking into a pothole busting 4 chicken eggs and having to walk all the way home (1 mile) with a swelling foot.

it hurt so bad. not paying attention to surroundings while playing pokemon go can do that (don't play it anymore).
