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.

Ah. Urgent Care. Those I know. I’d just never heard it called “Doc-in-the-box” before.

Thank you.

An urgent care clinic. Where you go when you can’t see your regular doctor, but it’s not significant enough for the ER.

Pardon my ignorance but, what’s a “Doc-in-the-box?”

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.

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

@ John M

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!

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