Dumb thing is that I tried to use the Teledoc my employer keeps trying to sell me (“it’s only $20 a visit!”), only to find it took me over an hour for an NP to tell me ($79 up front!) that she couldn’t treat me because I might have had a puncture. I argued that I work in a pharmacy and would get a tetanus booster immediately (I did) and only wanted a script for Keflex for the infection.
By some miracle, I was able to get to an urgent care just before they closed at 6:00. They were quick to assess me, prescribed me Keflex and a steroid cream for the swelling, and then I scrambled to a pharmacy across town that was still open and waited three times longer for my scripts—both free.
The most amazing part was that everyone involved was pleasant and didn’t obviously ache to get home on a big holiday. I hope they got bonuses for working such a crap shift.
