When You Should Go to Your Doctor, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room
Your baby is having a high fever that won’t go away; you accidentally fell off the stairs at your job, or even worse, you may have woken up in the middle of the night having abdominal pain; all of these are non-expected situations. That’s why it’s crucial when you’re injured or hurt and need medical attention to know whether to visit your primary care provider, go to an urgent care center, or head to the Emergency Room (ER).
