I was going to ignore it but I feel alluded to. What you say is irrelevant, is it supposed that because BD went to urgent care and not to the emergency room things change?Not even gonna weigh in on the latest batch of excuses, but given some of the comments I've seen, I would like to point out that BD used the term "urgent care", not "emergency room". Which, here in the US, at least, are two different things. An urgent care facility is more or less like a regular primary care doctor, except they only take walk-ins with relatively urgent cases, rather than by pre-scheduled appointment like your usual PC physician. They are usually a third party practice with between three and five MD/DOs and several nurse practitioners and physician assistants in a medium-sized practice, or in some cases an adjunct of a hospital ER. They handle things that can't wait for an appointment but aren't serious enough for the ER, though in some cases they will triage you and refer you to a hospital ER or even call an ambulance for you instead, though they are commonly equipped for interim emergency lifesaving measures. They usually have extended hours, but are not open 24/7 like an ER. Based on what BD describes (again, not gonna comment on veracity), an UC facility is actually the most appropriate choice.
On another note, and as much I'll say on the matter, I'm curious: Does anyone think we might get some small update or fix as a Christmas or New Year's gift? Or will we be waiting until the middle of next year? Perhaps Christmas 2025? Since that seems to be common theme of discussion at this point, and the moderators seem to be tolerating it at present.
No, the point is that according to him he felt bad enough for a doctor to check him out.
And it's not that i don't understand what you're saying, one is for critical situations and the other is more for emergencies that may not be very serious but in this situation it's irrelevant, and it sounds more like you're defending him and trying to disqualify my opinion just because of a technicality.
Yes using the right words is important but context is KING.
Hey, it's possible that I'm not understanding your point, but your post feels like: "Stop criticizing BD, PLEASE MODERATOR DO SOMETHING!!"; with an ending of: "I'm not defending, look, I'm even making fun of him."
