Urgent Care
What is urgent care?
Urgent care describes the kind of help you need when you have an injury or illness that needs attention the same day but isn’t serious enough to require visiting a hospital emergency room.
It’s not always easy to decide what needs emergency care and what is best dealt with using urgent care, but in general, the following need emergency attention:
Compound fractures where broken bones protrude from the skin
Convulsions or seizures
Unconsciousness
Knife wounds that are bleeding heavily
Gunshot wounds
Moderate to severe burns
Incapacitating head or neck injuries
Severe back pain
Having difficulty breathing
Suspected symptoms of stroke
Severe abdominal pain
Severe chest pain
If you’re feeling very unwell or have an injury that needs stitching, you may not need emergency care, but you do need to be seen by a doctor promptly. The team at Sebring Medical Walk-In Clinic provides same-day appointments and walk-in facilities at the offices for patients who need urgent care.
What conditions require urgent care?
Urgent care is a kind of halfway option between routine consultations and emergency care. Therefore, if your problem can’t wait for a routine appointment in a few days or weeks, but you aren’t in any imminent danger, you probably don’t need emergency care. Typical urgent care cases include:
Minor injuries that may need stitching
Asthma attacks (unless severe)
Pain or infection in the eyes
Influenza
Minor fractures, such as a finger or toe
Acute back injuries (unless severe)
New skin rashes
Severe sore throat or hacking cough
Acute sprains and strains
Migraine
Urinary tract infections
Vomiting and diarrhea
Dehydration
Receiving urgent care for these types of conditions at Sebring Medical Walk-In Clinic can get you fit and well with minimal fuss, and prevent minor to moderate injuries and illness from becoming worse.
How do I get urgent care when I need it?
