urgent care on Old Camp Rd
 

Went to the urgent care on Old Camp Rd Sunday. My Friend fell, wanted to get an x-ray to see if he broke a rib(s)…they x-rayed & said that he just gave a good bang & bruised it…two days later he fell again, then fell again on Thru. Called the EMT’S to help pick him up again, we asked that he go to the hospital to see why he keeps falling…turns out that on his first fall, he broke two ribs! We are never going to the urgent care again!!

Could he have possibly broken the ribs on the second or third fall??

I'd go one more time.....to ask if/how they misread the xray the first time. Or did the hospital??

i would ask for the first set of xrays to compare to current set of Xrays

I would worry why he fell three times and wonder why no one thought he might be having a stroke since he seemed so unstable.

GG spot on that would have been my fitst question followed by questioning regarding which fall or falls created fx ribs

Sometimes the xrays are not read in the US, just saying

exactly!

We have very very good results with that particular Urgent Care. Dr. Raymond, who is the owner is very knowledgeable and forward thinking. I believe his wife is also a doctor and runs the Leesburg office.

I was diagnosed and treated for walking pneumonia at Urgent Care. I was very satisfied with the treatment and care that was provided by all the people that I encountered. The only area needing improvement was the amount of time needed to see the doctor. Skip 2

I went to that Urgent Care a couple of times and had no problem. They were extremely helpful and should I need them again, I would certainly go back.

When he fell the first time he did complain of his ribs hurting and before the other falls he did bruise real bad over the ribs that broke :(

we still do not know why he fell... he is now in Rehab
