What? Do you not have walk in clinics where you live?

Like Urgent care? Last time I got into one it was the next day when they had the first opening. I suppose I could have gone and sat all day in case something opened up?

No its like a mini hospital. No appointments needed and usually get seen by a doctor within 30 minutes. We have 3 and my town has only 10k population. They cant do big things like x rays or blood tests. When i fractured my hand they bonded me up and everything and set a xray appointment for me at the main hospital, saved me from having to pay for a emergency room visit
