Starting 2018 with a visit at Healthcare Partner urgent care open 24h/7 ... on Wynn and Tropicana
I googled it since today it's January 1st... couple Urgentcare I tried we're closed
They took my HPN insurance so that was cool...
I had a horrible pain in my right ear and some stabbing pain coming front the top and back of my head toward right part of face pain like when you get shocked by electricity, pain intensified through the day and this evening i could take it anymore :(
Waiting room was packed. I checked in quickly, the lady took my ID, insurance card and had me fill out 3 forms.
1h later a nurse took me in, checked my vitals and had me wait again in the waiting room.
10mns later I was in the room waiting for the doc.
A PA came in very jovial and friendly. She listened to my story, checked my left ear (that was fine) right ear that hurts me. No ears infection (thank you !)
PA asked me if I was tired, stressed, itchy or noticed any blister on my body...
I did not pay attention but last night i started to feel the stabbing pain on the right side of my head and face trough my ear. I had 3 blisters on my right chick but I did not truly paid attention to it beside it was painful.
When I told the PA she right away said "you have Shingles" at that moment I had a flashback at the horrible commercial about Shingles...
She provided me list of Walgreens & CVS opened 24h|7.
she prescribed an anti virus, a nerve med and some pain medicine for next 7 days
I am so so glad I decided to go to Urgentcare!!! I truly appreciate the care of the PA lady, she was very knowledgeable and caring. She took the time to explain the treatment plan and answered all questions i had about shingles!!!
THANK YOU
