Default Urgent Care
Ok, folks, a dumb question...fortunately I am not one who has had to frequent doctors or hospital emergency rooms...and just moved to TV. URGENT CARE facilities are a relatively new concept for me. Are these pseudo-emergency rooms to take the load off hospitals, or are they something that arose due to politics/healthcare legislation? When would one use an Urgent Care facility? A non-life threatening injury? Do you need to be pre-registered in some way, or is it walk in?
