bp of 200 over 100 when you don't have a blood pressure problem is a reason to get immediate care. Clearly this wasn't coronary arrest but we did need care which is why we were in search of urgent care which failed in 2 out of 3 facilities and then on to the hospital because it was too late to run testing at the urgent care which was closed for testing at 6 pm. Frankly, my comment is in response to the issue of not enough open urgent care facilities etc. I am really tired today after getting home at 2:30 and don't feel like defending my grrr which relates to the general lack of sensible solutions to urgent care and an overwhelmed system. And BTW: Two people left while we were there who had been waiting for 5 and 6 hours.
