I had a situation weekend before last....different scenario, but similar situation. I let a problem that I was having get too serious and I realized late on a Friday afternoon that I wouldn't be able to go through the entire weekend without addressing my problem. I did call the doctor that I had seen about 6 weeks prior for an introductory visit and I did like her but I called too late and she was unable to see me. .....so, I went to urgent care. I gave the assistant all of the info required and waited for the doctor to come in the room. When he came in, he had prescriptions already written out on a clipboard. I barely spoke to this man. He was relying solely on what I had told the assistant. He handed me four scripts. One for a UTI......I didn't have one and never implied that I did. One for congestion....no problem there either. An antibiotic....don't know if I needed that or not. And a stomach muscle relaxer that I did need. I had to pay cash for this visit..which only added salt to the wound. Needless to say, first thing Monday morning I followed up with my doctor.

Are situations like this gonna get better or worse in the next 4 years??
