OK, Skip this section if you don't like doctors.
I registered at Urgent Care, and found that I had left my insurance card at home. It was on my desk while I was trying to find out on the website where to go. Great. (BTW, do you know how hard it is to type with your hand completely bandaged? Let alone use a mouse or trackpad?)
But, the lady I talked to on the phone was there, heard my name and said "Ah, there you are. I printed all of your information." Now that's service.
The nurse took my vital signs. My pulse was 85 and my blood pressure was 140/94. That's a bit high. The nurse stated the obvious - and I explained I had been trying to talk to a living person at the insurance company for an hour and a half. She understood.
I met the very nice Dr. Curtis, who looked a little shocked at the number of holes in my hand and concerned about the redness and swelling. He took some samples and ordered an X-Ray. Also, some shots...
I love digital X-Rays! Took 10 minutes. He was looking for foreign objects in the wounds (like teeth!) but they were clean.
He wanted me to come back the next day to check on progress, and then referred me to a hand specialist. Too many doctors!
