@vwbusguy did you guys in the US have open clinic times in the past? As a kid in the UK I'd just sit in the waiting room with a parent and eventually we'd get a turn. Found a local vet here who does the same, and I can't help but wonder if it's more optimal than appointments.
@sanityinc That's called "urgent care" here, but it's not a replacement for routine doctor visits (physical, optometrist, psychiatrist, etc.). That's more for like if you have a fever or some kind of wound that doesn't require the ER.
@vwbusguy oh, this was just at the regular family physician's practice, so not necessarily urgent care, but yeah, I guess it fits in that sub-ER space!
@sanityinc Generally, you won't see your physician the same day for an incidental visit, but a nurse, nurse practitioner, or physician's assistant that works for your doctor, but you still generally need an appointment, especially on this side of covid.
