Immedial Care
" Feeling ill? Depend On Immediate Care and more. See us at PDQ urgent care & more." - Richard F. Macko
" I had a really bumpy ride finding any physician when I got my first breast cancer diagnosis. The medical professional gave me a couple of aspirins and informed me to follow these directions: beverage 8 glasses of water each day, take Tylenol 2 times a day, use the heating pad on my abdominal area, put a cloth in my mouth and let it stay there for fifteen minutes. Also, if I feel stomach or digestion pain, don't consume. Likewise, when I'm having trouble breathing, hold the breath and attempt to relax as much as possible."
" My son's birthday was the other day. I took him to the pediatrician's office and he is succeeding. But there was one issue - the nurse there suggested we take our kid to Immediate Care at Yorba Linda Airport due to the fact that his granny's insurance will cover most of his care through September." - Karen
"I just discovered that my friend's son required Immediate Care when he fell ill at work. The medical professional was unable to see him for 2 hours, but the man remained in stable condition when he came in. He has a high fever and a chest cold. He also has a kidney infection and a sinus infection. His body immune system is so low that the medical professional says he may need to have an infusion of Vitamin D and he is being held overnight.
"The medical professional explained that he most likely would have passed away had he gone to the emergency clinic at the local hospital instead of going to IMEDI Construction. He was in good condition when he went in and the medical professionals were really kind and patient with him. He left with antibiotics and a prescription for some check here muscle relaxers which I will hopefully be taking later on this week." - Greg W.

New urgent and primary care centre opens on Pandora Avenue
Urgent and primary care centres are one of the main components of the province’s efforts to address the ongoing doctor shortage, with 25 such centres opened since the first was established in the West Shore in 2018.
They offer care that’s needed within 12 to 24 hours, aim to connect patients with a primary care provider at the clinic or in the community, and provide a range of practitioners, including a mental-health and addictions component.
They aim to divert non-emergency cases from hospital emergency rooms.
Some doctors say the province should do more to support and expand family practices rather than pumping money into new urgent and primary care centres.
They question whether the UPCC model actually works to attach patients to family doctors, or just drains money and lures staff away from existing clinics.
“I’m very concerned at how many of these UPCCs are now opened in the Greater Victoria area and the negative effects they have on existing private practices and private walk-in clinics,” said Dr. Benjamin How of the Oak Bay Medical Clinic. “I’m concerned that these taxpayer-funded UPCCs are not forced to take on patients on a longitudinal basis but are only operating as walk-in clinics.”
