Finding a Doctor on the Road

Yeah, well, it happens to the best of us that we need to find a sawbones on occasion. I won't go into the grizzly details, but suffice to say that although I carry Injun medicine with me, sometimes it's just not enough. Need to see a modern doc with prescribing authority. And I don't want to end up in an emergency room somewhere.

Ideas?

 

I think most of them closed for lack of use. I'm headed to Vegas. The purpose for this is to, first I need to see someone like within the next day or so , second, I know I'm not the only one with this problem...I mean needing to see someone and not knowing where to turn. I've been waiting to see my own doc for almost eight months, but always go through that area on weekends. Now the problem is way out of hand and becoming a big deal.

 

Okay, here's where I went:

Rapid Care Medical Clinic
4270 S Decatur Blvd
Las Vegas, NV
Phone (702) 798-7770

Office visit was $75, then there was a small additional fee for a lab test that had to be done. They are a full clinic and can handle dang near anything. The wait was only about a half hour and they got me right in. Had to wait a bit for the doc, but I think they were finishing up my lab work also. All in all, I had a good experience with these guys.

To get there, on I-15 take exit 38A if southbound, 38 if northbound. Turn west, go to Decatur and turn left. It will be on the left. There is a big tile store on the north side of the clinic that you might be able to park behind if you have a trailer. I was bobtail, so I just parked in front of the tile store. Nobody gave me any grief over it.
