If it’s that serious you gotta go to ER first.
Some idiot showed up at walk in clinic last week with a severed finger and held up 10 people with flu, cough, etc.

Thank you.
I understand that people have a hard time triaging themselves. But some of it is just common sense.
You are so SOB you think it's affecting your ability to think clearly? Get your arse to the ER.
Legit chest pain? Severe abdominal pain? L or R sided acute onset weakness?
All ER.
My first week working a walk in clinic, I saw an acute CVA several hours out, a cardiac event, and a guy on Coumadin that fell off of a ladder and was bleeding from his ear.
Urgent care is when you need to be seen sooner than a doctor's office appointment, but it's not life-threatening.
