sick

 

Knowing where to go after you’ve fallen ill depends on the nature of the condition and how quickly you need care. However, you should know these options before you require treatment. There are conditions where you should immediately head out to an emergency room; whereas, others do not require immediate medical care. If you feel that you need to see a doctor immediately because the symptoms show no sign of going away, here are three places available for you to seek care:

Physician’s Office

Physician’s office should be your first choice if you aren’t suffering from an emergency medical condition. Visit your physician’s office for conditions such as sore throats, fevers, earaches, flu, etc. Also, make sure that you visit your doctor’s clinic regularly to avoid emergency situations. In emergency medical situations, don’t hesitate to contact your physician for guidance.If you do not have a personal physician, you should make it a priority to find one.

Walk-In Clinics

Walk-in clinics have been set up to deal with situations that aren’t serious and conditions that are not life threatening. Obviously, you’d like to get in touch with your doctor and visit his clinic when you’re sick, but what do you do when there are a few situations when the doctor isn’t present? First and foremost, seek medical advice right away and don’t wait for your doctor. You can always benefit from walk-in clinics as they’ve been established for the same purpose – to treat you when your doctor isn’t available. However, you should keep in mind that walk-in clinics will are not equipped to deal with life-threatening emergency conditions.
