🚨 If You Live In America Listen To This: American Nurse For 15 Years Is Whistleblowing On New Policy In Urgent Cares
“Needs to go viral, urgent cares are becoming one of the most dangerous places in the US health care system, and I'm about to tell you why. Hi. My name is Lindsey. I've been a nurse for the last 10 years and a nurse practitioner for the last 5 years, and I'm here to spill the tea:
So many urgent cares are going towards a policy, which is that regardless of what medical condition a patient comes in with, that they need to be checked in and triaged and evaluated by the provider, which sounds great in theory, but let me paint you a picture.
Say, an older gentleman walks in with confusion, slurred speech, and facial drooping on one side. Normally, the front staff would notify me, hey. We think this patient is possibly having a stroke. Can you come and take a look? I would go up to them.
I'd say, hey. I'm really concerned for you. Let me call 911 so you can get to the ER and get the care that you need that an urgent care can't provide. But instead, this policy binds a provider's hands. So the nurse practitioner, doctor, or PA who is there at that urgent care is unable to do so.
They are now requiring that they are checked in, triaged, and evaluated by them before they're sent to the ER, even though the provider already knows they're going to the ER. The problem is this patient could be sitting there waiting for 30, 40, 50 minutes or longer because that provider may be with another patient doing a laceration pair or an IED, which is completely appropriate and completely treatable in urgent care. But in the meantime, the clock is ticking, and this patient is literally losing minutes on what is the difference between possibly life and death and good outcomes and bad outcomes.
And this all stems from the fact that health care administrators and their corporate greed has grown so large that they care more about a yacht than they do about caring for patients in the way that they should be cared for.
Because this policy is about ensuring that they get the money from that patient going into the urgent care as opposed to the patient being transferred to a place where they can be treated appropriately.
So be careful out there, y'all. If you have something like, you know, stroke symptoms, chest pain, or severe abdominal pain, please don't waste your time nor give your money to the corporate greedy buzzards who are more interested in filling their pocket than they are helping you and making sure you or your loved one gets the care that they deserve.”

30+ years ago, our son scratched his eye with a stick and I could see the abrasion with my naked eye. I immediately took him to an urgent care, 5 minutes from our house. After sitting in the waiting room 30 minutes, then in the treatment room 30 minutes, the doctor started to scold me for waiting so long to seek treatment, as the injury occurred more than an hour ago. I've pretty much avoided urgent care centers since then.
...and you got scolded!
think it's the projection Q talks about. I also got 'scolded' the other day at the ER, doctor asked me what my IQ was😆
I'm down to one medication, so once I heal my thyroid, I'm never going back.
Unless your name is Jose Gonzalas......
The primary reason for requiring the provider evaluation is that some providers are lazy and send everything to the ER. The policy at my local urgent care is the receptionist notifies the nurse and provider right away if their is concern and the provider triages the customer promptly. I should know I am the sole owner of 2 urgent care facilities for nearly 30 years. I'm the only self employed physician left in my county. Employees often do not care and it is getting worse. Sounds like Lindsey works for the greedy hospital corporate ER conglomerate and the urgent care industry is stepping on some toes. Last I checked urgent care is the fastest growing segment of health care.
An urgent care in Colo. Sent my father in law home with a UTI when in truth he had had a massive heart attack. Went to the hospital hours later only to receive a death sentence and to die shortly there after. There was nothing the hospital could do. The quick care killed him. We sued. They paid.
I know there's not enough money in the world to heal you from your loss, but at least you got justice.
My grandma years back had cancer, and the negligence of the staff at the place she was at are what made her lose that battle. She had been in a car accident and her shoulder was dislocated but they never even bothered to check it... because she had such trouble getting out of bed (Trying to put weight on it ffs) they deemed her too physically unfit to continue chemo.
We wanted to sue, but at the time we were just so broken up about losing her that we just didnt have the energy for a legal battle
infact the only reason we found out is because one of the staff members decided to go against policy and everything else, risked their job to run her in and do a quick xray cause even she could see the problem but it was out of her power
In short, follow the money.
end drug patents ------ for starters ------ the government pay for the research anyways
People like to blame the nurses and doctors. But 90% of the problems in healthcare right now are because administrators do not care about human life, they aren’t doctors, they have business degrees, and they don’t care about employee burnout, they drive an s63 amg Mercedes. Take it out on the administrators who are genuinely sociopaths.
Fuck the night nurse I had a few weeks ago or so, i was in for my pancreatitis issues... she comes in and it went like this
"So, you have diabetes" "Me..uh no?" "Well you do now'
and thats how i was informed im at a 7 and anything past 6.5 is considered type 2 diabetes. real compassion there i tell ya
Go carnivore or keto and that should improve.
That’s bad bedside manner for sure,
I don’t trust the Doc-in-a-box places. BUT my wife and 38 year old daughter have to ise them because there are ZERO Doctors accepting new patients here in Central Mass. None, zip, nada. My daughter called every hospital and every family practice. I figured there had to be some zipper head from Fuckistan looking for patients but there aren’t any. Their Doctor retired because of the insurance bullshit they all go through.
I’m sure the hospitals would find a Doctor for illegals…
We got urgent cares on almost every street corner. They're as common as fast food restaurants now.
Since these things have been popping up everywhere, I had wondered where they got their doctors to staff these things, especially the 24/7 places. My best guess was foreign trained 'doctors' from Third World countries, but I was never quite sure of that. But I decided that I'd never use one, but rather cut out valuable time, if time were of the essence, and head to a hospital ER.
Seems like there may be a liability issue for the Urgent care facility.
Thank you for posting
--Do not use an urgent care facility if in fact, you have symptoms of a stroke, heart attack, or any serious injury. Doing so could delay your treatment and may limit your treatment options. And a Delay in some instances can lead to debilitating outcomes and maybe death.
Call 911 for an ambulance and let the paramedic triage you to the hospital ER. I had a serious MI and the paramedic called ahead what is known as a STEMI alert. I wasn't 5 minutes in the ER getting IV's placed and EKG and I was rushed to the cath lab for a stent. 100% blockage on the right coronary artery. That was 9 years ago. All is well.
Something similar happened to me. I was admitted, triaged, then told to drive to the nearby ER. I received two bills. Same "not for profit" hospital system. They could have just skipped that first step. But they did triage me ahead of others, so maybe there's nothing to complain about.
Jews and Pharmakeia
They own the pain pill dispensers and the rehabs
Yea, in my location, the hospitals own all of their own suburban Urgent Cares. At check-in, you get a wristband and catalogued in their system....almost a straight shot to admission to the main hospital.
I get pancreatitis attacks fairly often (Was in the hospital 2ce just in the last few weeks, and last time it was bad enough i went in was November)
i never bother with urgent care. i just go the ER (and im still waiting hourss between the waiting room, the exam room, and eventually an actual hospital room. I wouldn't have any debt at 35 damn years old if it wasn't for all the medical bills - but, id rather have that debt than deal with urgent care.
I'll just walk the F off, call my own ambulance..."Yeah pick me up in front of urgent care"
Well shout out to my local urgent care doc who just today complied with my request for a cough syrup prescription with codeine so maybe I can get some sleep tonight. Took three pharmacies, tho, to get it filled.
Healthcare sucks but this seems like nbd. If the person is messed up the docs gonna see them faster
