[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 311552, member: 1233"] Our walk in clinic has been so overwhelmed that they had a warning to get there as soon after opening as possible. Seems that after they are open for half an hour they are fully booked and cannot get any more patients seen. They have 3 docs and 3 physician assistant/nurse practitioners on duty at all times and still cannot meet the need. The new urgent care facility is also swamped this way. We have a free clinic that runs through the ER at the hospital and waits there can be more than six hours. I don't know how much is due to swine flu, swine flu fears, or anything else. But it seems far worse than it has ever been. The pediatrician is all booked by 8:15 on Monday am and by noon on other days. So getting a child seen can take days, even for more serious problems. I am glad her toe is being treated. Hope neither of you caught anything! [/QUOTE]
