If you have a health crisis after hours, THINK Insurance & Financial Services serving Pomona, CA has some helpful suggestions for how to deal with the matter.<\/p>\n
It goes almost without saying if your condition is life threatening, for example, a heart attack, stroke, or severe trauma, you or someone close to you should call 911. EMTs are well trained to evaluate and stabilize you and get you to a trauma center with due speed.<\/p>\n
For conditions that are not life threatening, many hospitals maintain urgent care centers that are not only cheaper but have quicker wait times. Nearly all are open seven days a week and until about 9 p.m. or so. Some of the conditions that an urgent care center will be able to treat include conditions like the flu, minor injuries, vomiting, diarrhea, a non-life threating allergic reaction, or a urinary tract infection.<\/p>\n
You should check in advance what an urgent care center will treat when they are open, and whether they are in a hospital or other facility that is within your insurance network. Have someone else drive you to the urgent care center if at all possible.<\/p>\n
While your health information, such as chronic conditions, medications you are taking, and allergies may be on a computer network, it is always prudent to carry that information with you.<\/p>\n
If you are uncertain what to do if you have a health care crisis after hours, many medical practices have an on call physician, Give that person a call, and he or she will be able to tell you what you need to do.<\/p>\n
