Exception to the rule
Sometimes urgent care visits do go right:He listened, and expressed understanding. Then he said "doctor, I don't care how it looks when you're done...and I don't care if I have to deal with complications; as long as you do your best, I will be happy. Please try, I don't want to go to the ER...especially if you can fix it." (hmmm...can I get that in writing? Does that count as informed consent? Will that hold up in court?).(via Scalpel)
So, the doctor in me...that part who doesn't want to base every medical decision I make on what's defensible in court, but rather do what's best (and within my capacity) for people...over took me.
