I agree. I'm just being extra-maternal. I hate seeing people suffer needlessly!

I don't want to live anymore. I just can't adapt to different routines and no one supports my dreams.

You do. Depression just overwhelms me and sometimes makes me forget that others care about me.

You have to get it taken care of, Sly.

Even if you go to some other Urgent Care place that's open in the morning.

What the hell kind of Urgent Care place only keeps evening hours?

There's one on 860 Beltline Road, open 8 AM.

I don't know where you live, so I can't know which one is near you.

I used to work nights before I started working the two jobs. Other people do night shift, too.

You really should see a doctor as soon as possible, Sir.

I sort of advocate the Emergency Room, actually........

During mornings it’s just a regular doctor office.

My insurance will only pay for Oregon medical group.likewise I can only go to one dentist. I couldn’t even change doctors, for few years we had a office down the toad from me but the said no I have to go to the one across town.
I also can’t go to the closer better hospital I have to go to the further one, unless it’s an emergency

could be fungus or allergy. steroids worsen fungus. keep up with fungus cream until doc does tests to differentiate.

Oringally the right arm looked different so I put cortisone on it and it got better then it exploded like it is now. Original it looked like a bunch of tiny pimples they even popped, so thought it was exzma


You didn't have any cuts or injuries prior to this rash, did you?
Is it still raised?


Nope
My mom claimes it’s from my kitten but he hasn’t had any bumps and he had some flea rashes 3 months go but they healed up
Since I’m putting meds in he can’t sleep with me so he’s upset at nights and confused, and I don’t get to sleep with my kitten:(

emergency room is expensive and this is NOT an emergency.

sorry for your and your kitten's discomfort. did the rash get worse while still on steroids or after you stopped them?

You may have to get your kitten shaved, or it'll keep reinfecting.
I had to do the same for my rescue cat.

If Sly is on Medicaid, it wouldn't be expensive to go to the Emergency Room.

it would still be abuse of the emergency room and expensive for taxpayers.

I hope you’re not upset with me.

Couldn’t ringworm cause lost of hair if it gets to the scalp in rare cases?

I’m not into “abusing the system.” I haven’t been in an emergency room in many years.

sure, but not in the few days it'll take him to see a doc non-emergently. and hair loss is also not an emergency. if it were me and the itching interfered with sleep, i'd use benedryl (whenever i mention a medicine i'm including its generic).

bleeding that won't stop, chest pain, worst headache of your life, trouble breathing, blistering drug rashes - these things are emergencies.
