They were cool with me coming out there. Since my own doctor is on vacation until Tuesday(or Monday, depending on who answers the phone) I had little choice. No walk in clinics in our area.

I have a severe upper respiratory infection. They assured me I was correct in getting treatment so soon, as these don't go away on their own and usually get worse over time.

I'll be mad when I get the bill(my insurance coverage stinks, but that's another story) but I'll be glad when I start feeling better!

I'm SOOO glad you saw a doc! (And don't forget, take all the antibiotics even after you start to feel better! These bugs can be nasty)

I can so relate to that. I had an eye emergency last month, so I went to my retina guy, but he wasn't there so I saw his partner. My insurance covered it and it cost me $10.

The next day, it was worse, so I went in again. My guy was still gone, so I had to see his other partner. The other partner gave me the same exam as the first guy did, but he wasn't in the insurance group, so it cost me $700.

The worst thing was, that was the week that COI was coming to town, and I couldn't go!

Johar,

Glad you went to dr. and glad you're feeling better now. Is this infection/antibiotic mess going to mess up your eye surgery appt.? Hope not! Get well soon.........
