关于URGENTCARE的功能。

现在很多地方都在商业区附近交通方便的地方搞了URGENTCARE。

URGENTCARE的好处是随时可以去见得到医生(或者护士)不需要预约。但是能力有限。

我们这些学中文起家的容易对URGENT这个名目误解。URGENT CARE 和 EMERGENT CARE 是两回事。

EMERGENT CARE:

Pregnancy-related issues such as vaginal bleeding

Moderate to severe burns

Severe abdominal pain

Compound fractures, where bones penetrate the skin and dislocated joints

Poisoning

Homicidal or suicidal feelings

Heavy and uncontrollable bleeding

Gunshot wounds or deep knife wounds

Stroke symptoms, like confusion, weakness, slurred speech, sudden numbness on one side, or vision loss

Loss of consciousness, seizures, and convulsions

Fever in a child younger than three months

Heart attack symptoms, like pro-longed chest pain that exceeds two minutes

Difficulty breathing or severe chest pain

Serious back, neck, and head injury

Eye injury

Fever accompanied by a rash

URGENT CARE:

Flu or fever

Dehydration, diarrhea, or vomiting

Eye redness and irritation

Strains and sprains

Urinary tract infections

Falls and accidents

Moderate back issues

Breathing difficulties, like mild or moderate asthma

Severe cough or sore throat

Minor fractures and broken bones in the toes and fingers

Skin infections and rashes

Cuts with minimal bleeding that don’t require stitches

URGENT CARE 有打点滴的条件。比如糖尿病人突发血糖低可以迅速缓解。同样的,高血糖的也可以在那里打胰岛素缓解。

去URGENT CARE初步诊治以后,可能还是要去ER(无论是自行去还是叫急救车)。

遇到过不少情况,被叫到URGENTCARE去处理。其实病人应该直接去ER。

一个是在院子里干活被马蜂蜇了手指肿胀,戒指卡死了,救护车上有剪戒指的专用工具(我不清楚为什么这家URGENT CARE没有)。

还有是病人头晕去看UR,量量血压低,说着说着晕倒了。赶快叫了救护,在车里打了点滴血压上去了,到ER的时候已经清醒了,不耐烦等自己走了。

这两个情况,UR应该是可以处置的,但是要么是人员缺乏资质,要么是不想承担责任。往上一级医疗送肯定是没责任的。

所以,对UR别指望太多,我认为主要是小孩生了病不放心,去看一看有个意见。成年人最好对自己的身体状况有所了解。
