So I wasted three hours today...
I finally bit the bullet and went to the urgent care clinic today because of this sore throat. Turns out that was the biggest waste of three hours I have ever spent! I chose urgent care as I have not found a primary care doctor yet and this was something pretty routine. The co-pay is the same either way so I thought what the heck. The wait was bad enough. Then I failed the throat swab - I have a horrible gag reflex. The nurse told me that she had six year olds that do better - I had to give her that one. The PA came in looked at my throat briefly and then told me just a virus and to take vitamins. At least I knew it wasn't strep - that was my concern. Then before I left the nurse came out with a prescription - that the PA told me she wasn't giving me. I don't even think I will have it filled. If it is just a virus - there is no point to take antibiotics.
