Now the Urgent Care Thread
« on: August 21, 2022, 10:14:13 AM »
If this thread already exists, go ahead and merge. I think there’s a bell curve of shittiness that every person falls on & the x-bar is pretty far left.

My wife just went to urgent care because she’s been sick for 5 days & getting worse. She’s been there 10 minutes & had the following experiences:

1. While walking across the lot, the driver of another car sees her from the road. They speed into the lot, slams the breaks at the doors & the passenger gets out & sprints to the door to beat my wife in line.

2. Guy walks in saying he thinks he has Covid. They then ask him to put on a mask. He refuses & sits down in the waiting room open mouth coughing & not even covering his mouth.

The people who are the absolute worst are whoever came up with the idea of urgent care clinics. They’re like the payday loans of healthcare

I've had good experiences with covid tests at urgent cares. But then I had one that required a dadgum physical exam and they wouldn't email me the results, they made me sit in the room until the results were printed

I have gone to urgent care a few times in the last 20 years and it's always been fast and easy. They really did pop up on every block the last 5ish years though.

Is this now the urgent care thread?

Sorry ham wasn’t trying to derail!

On the topic of awful ppl…one time about 10 years ago I was in some really busy parking lot and I turned down the aisle and this car was backing out and I was like hell yes what luck! And as soon as the car cleared I pulled in. What I hadn’t realized until I want about 50% in to the spot was that a car had been waiting for that spot coming from the other direction and I didn’t see it bc my view was obstructed by the car backing out.
I pulled in to the spot. Sat there for about 10 seconds and was so overcome with guilt that I backed out and kept looking. I still beat myself over that one and it’s been literally 10 years. One of my cringeiest moments
