[quote=Anonymous]Another vote for urgent care.  Some of the pros:  no appointment necessary, you can walk in whenever convenient for you or walk in less busy times and get seen pretty quickly.  The last time my wife needed to go, I dropped her off and she was already in triage before I got into the car to go run an errand.  Second, they are always set up for any situations.  They have the surgical tools to cut the glass out, they can give you the tetanus shot if yours is out of date, they can give you an antibiotic for the cut if needed, and if it was still really deep, they can give you a painkiller.  For meds, they can fill the order right there before you leave without another stop at a pharmacy to drop off a prescription, wait for it to be filled, etc.  All on one copay  One stop shopping, in and out, no waiting for office hours and scheduling an appointment.  Much easier than waiting until morning to call your PCP or find a podiatrist and call them and try to schedule, then have to wait for the appointment time to roll around.  If you went to the urgent care center last night, you probably would have been done and home before half of these responses came in and well before you could call your PCP or a podiatrist this morning to even schedule the appointment, let alone wait for said appointment.[/quote]
