So this morning, you look on ToTV for advice on helping your wife, who cut herself "the other day." Not even necessarily "yesterday" - I'll go ahead and state - it's not an emergency.
So you can rule out an ER. There are a lot of Urgent Care facilities within and surrounding The Villages. I suggest you run a google search and base your decision on the one that's closest to you, that's open when you decide to bring her in. |

American Urgent Care on 466A in Wildwood is THE BEST!! OR if you need an ER, go to a free standing one either on 44 across from Brownwood OR on 466A next to the Trailwinds shopping. You don't say where you live, so can't help you to the nearest. Either ER is exceptional.

YES----American Urgent Care in Wildwood is the BEST. Dr. Muhammad is wonderful. He came from Tampa and was nominated as one of the best 100 doctors in the United States. No long wait, has great help. Google "American Urgent Care in Wildwood, FL" to get the website to see everything they do.

I am a nurse & ER’s should ONLY be used for LIFE THREATENING events or after hours of urgent care facilities. Our ER has greatly improved since University of Florida Health has bought & staffed it. Urgent care facilities are springing up all over (as are stand alone ER’s.) That all being said, your 1st call should be to your insurance to find out who is in network & what the costs to you will be. Then find the closest to you, as you don’t want to be driving far for “urgent” care. Hope this helps.

I'm told that Medicare won't pay for ER if you've already been to Urgent Care, so be careful which you choose. I thought I had sprained my ankle, but it wasn't getting better after a week. I then went to Urgent Care where they took an x-ray, told me the bone was broken, and that I need to see an orthopedic doc ASAP to determine if I needed surgery. Naturally, it was a 3 week wait, minimum, to get into an ortho. And the ER wouldn't see me since I had already been to Urgent Care. I really felt 'stuck'.

I used CVS minute clinic last week and was very pleased with convenience of making appt and the care given. When you can’t get into your GP for two weeks it’s nice having a place like this. Less waiting too.

Yet here you are still alive and typing away. Driving while on your deathbed? Do you care so little for the other people on the road? You might have hurt someone.

I recommend you go to your health insurance web site and see which urgent cares are in your plan as there are so many around here. That would make your billing a lot easier. If they have a triage nurse on call, that's always a good idea first and they will recommend which facility to go to, especially if it might require emergency care.
