A loyal FrontBurnervian just called with a semi-emergency–his 90-year old mother fell and has a gash on her leg that needs to be cleaned. Anyone know a good spot?

City Doc next to Vino 100 on McKinney Ave.

Yeah, that’s what I was gonna suggest. I went there once with a raging migraine.

Did they buy it, Bethany?

My house overlooks that City Doc, it seems that they have an ambulance show up about once a week to pick someone up, it seems a bit unusual for a doc in a box operation to send off so many people in ambulances.

Totally, Daniel. I got the good stuff. I think puking in their waiting room helped, though.

You would be amazed how many people show up to the free clinics and Doc in a boxes with chest pains, symptoms of a stroke, and even head trauma. At least the Doc has the good sense to know when she/he needs to send a patient to the Emergency Department!

Skip the doc-in-the-box. Just put a little butter on the wound.

I always go to that one when I get poison ivy. If I’m going to get a shot in the butt, I’d like it without the 2 hour wait at my doctor’s office.

Pardon my ignorance but, what’s a “Doc-in-the-box?”
@ 11:32 am on November 21, 2008
An urgent care clinic. Where you go when you can’t see your regular doctor, but it’s not significant enough for the ER.
@ 11:33 am on November 21, 2008
Ah. Urgent Care. Those I know. I’d just never heard it called “Doc-in-the-box” before.
Thank you.

I recall City Doc once having signs on the building they do Botox. Nothing better than de-wrinkling thrown in with the hydrocodone, followed by a glass of wine next door.

Botox-in-a-Box?

Isn’t that a Vivid movie?

FrontBurner® launched in March 2003, the first blog in Dallas run by a media organization. This is where the editors of D Magazine come to waste a tremendous amount of time.
