Urgent Care
Urgent care is where you go
When you’re a little scared
That what you feel might be a thing
For which you’re unprepared.
You’d rather not spend hours in
A hospital’s E.R.,
But staying home is stressful
When you’re not quite up to par.
So urgent care is something
That is somehow in-between,
For hopefully, by someone trained
You’ll actually be seen.
They’ll check you out and send you home
With meds and some advice
To see your doc (or not –
It’s up to you to roll the dice).
Before these places did exist,
The hospital was where
Most people went when they believed
They needed urgent care.
But nowadays it makes more sense,
Unless you cannot breathe,
To stay out of a hospital,
Where waits may make you seethe.
