Tonight I had my first experience at our local Urgent Care. The husband had a hurt back and we thought he might have kidney stones, so off to the Urgent Care we went. Now, not everyone would have a good time there, but I like to think we're a fun couple who make the best out of every situation.
So, here is a list of the good and the disappointing ....
First, for the things that will get Urgent Care an A+ in my book....
Warm towels and juice. That's right. I wasn't even a patient and I was offered a warm blanket and some ginger ale. I couldn't even get some juice on a recent flight. I may hang out there just for the free drinks...oh and the casino because as a member of the players club I get free soda there too...
Quiet time. You wouldn't think you'd get that in a public place, but it really did happen. Sure people came in and out, but sick people don't make much noise. Maybe its their weakened state. I don't know, but it was nice to go somewhere and have it be peaceful. I may end up going there to do homework next semester.
The pee cup package. Now, I didn't get to experience the pee cup myself, so I'm taking the husbands word on that one. His exact words...."it was like a boxed lunch, except with a cup to pee in". Apparently it had a funnel to move your pee into the cup. Seriously, how much fun is that!
Things that disappointed me...
THE LACK OF WIFI! I brought the touch so I could check my email and tweet...but alas...no signal. Sad, sad, sad. So, I ended up playing some majong, learning some sign language from an app I had downloaded and never used, and watching some It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I admit I did laugh out loud when watching the show...it just amuses me.
No turn your head and cough for the husband. I can't help it, every time he goes to the doctor I swear they're poking around down there. I get a fair amount of amusement knowing that's happening, so I was disappointed he came out unscathed.
Let's hear it...what's the strangest place you've had a good time?

That is awesome, especially the drink and blanket! I actually went to our Urgent Care once when I was only a little sick and knew it was a cold just because MOMMY NEEDED A FREAKIN BREAK! It was lovely. I even got a cortisone shot out of the deal.
Wow. That is the nicest Urgent Care I've ever heard of. I should swing by on a Friday night!
First time to this site... great article, lol.
I am so surprised you got quiet time in Urgent Care. Anytime I've ever been there it has been a barrage of hacking and wheezing and oohing and aahing and screaming children. The only pain worse than the reason I was there was that from the noise.
I think that is so funny you did a review of Urgent Care! It's obvious you are a person who can have a good time wherever you go.
