I would have gone to Urgent Care the SAME DAY....even if it's a decent wait. That would have started the process faster.
Over-the-counter items are over-the-counter for a good reason: they are not strong enough to require a prescription.
Problem is I work 5-9
Urgent care is open 5-8.

A major problem that can result when patients don't have access to preventive care is that a small, treatable issue can turn into something more serious over time. This leads to costly emergency room visits and procedures that can be burdensome financially to both the patients and our local economy. At Volunteers In Medicine, our mission is to provide our patients with the preventive care and services they need to be healthy and happy.
Primary Care - At the VIM clinic, volunteer physicians and nurses donate their time to treat patients and provide the highest quality medical care possible. They strive to treat and provide solutions for existing conditions, in addition to routine preventive care including physicals and other recommended examinations.
