I volunteered to work Saturdays. And to do walk-ins. And to take all comers, not just our patients.
It has been an interesting journey.
Some clinics put their newest, least experienced clinicians on the very front line of doing urgent care. Here, it’s the opposite. I’ve got 39 years under my belt, and I see everything from sore throats to people who left the emergency room in the middle of a workup because their anxiety kept them from waiting for their CT scan to rule out a blood clot in their lungs.
The waiting room fills up, and it’s just me and a medical assistant.
