I can imagine everything is pretty hectic at the end of the year everywhere with people working to get in before their deductible resets. But, truthfully, I believe my primary would get us in in an event such as this. Whatever. The problem has been solved and I am wiser as to the options or lack of so in the future will not be as manic to figure it out. Looks like she can't fly for seven days so now I have the overwhelming joy of talking to the airlines :)

Been to Paramount Urgent Care a number of times, they are good.. helped us A lot... From Broken Clavical and Scapula to Kidney Stones,, helped alot...

call me lucky - but i walked into my doctor's office this morning - without an appt - and was asked to have a seat and i could be seen shortly! Within ten mins i was in the examining room, updated my records since last annual visit, had the vitals taken and the doc walked in 5 mins later! Got my scripts, had my lab work done [had to wait 15mins for the tech] and was outta there!

lucky!!!!!! :)

You obviously dont have a Primary Care physican here in TV but fortunately we do have the Urgent Care centers in addition to the hospital ERs. Many communities up north donot have the UR centers. Trying to see a specialist (ENT or something else) this week ANYPLACE is almost impossible without a scheduled appointment or urgent referral from a PC Dr.

Glad to hear you got the (medical) problem solved..now the airline!!

I actually do have a primary here but they would not see my daughter because she is a new patient. A bit of a disappointment but I have accepted a loooonnnngggg time ago, they don't make doctors like they used to :)

Glad she has been seen and diagnosed. Hope the pain and discomfort quickly go away. She is lucky to have you with her.

shcisamax I'm happy to hear that your daughter finally got the medical care she needed. I highly recommend Lake Regional on Old Camp Rd Urgent Care. They do not use PA's only MD's. I have been treated there many times and never had a bad experience. Most recently I was in a great deal of pain and was able to have a cat scan in the next building over immediately and was treated and completely satisfied. Because I am a patient there I never have to wait too long, now that's a good thing. Good luck with the airlines, you have my :pray:'s.
