From the Washington County Hospital Spring 2009 publication of Health Focus....
Skip Urgent Care and head to the ER if the medical problem includes
difficulty breathing, chest or upper abdominal pain or pressure, fainting,
numbness, changes in vision, confusion or changes in mental status, sudden or severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, severe or persistent vomiting or diarrhea, coughing or vomiting blood or difficulty speaking.

Choose Urgent Care when your primary care physician or pediatrician’s office is closed or an appointment is unavailable and the medical condition is something less severe, such as a cold, flu, earache, sore throat or minor injury like a sprain.

When you go, take along a list of current medications and food or drug allergies, as well as an up-to-date list of immunizations. Because the physician isn’t your primary care physician, he or she will be less familiar with your medical history, and these items will provide important information.

Antietam Health Services offers two Urgent Care Centers to meet your family’s minor medical needs—generally within 60 to 75 minutes of your arrival. For more information, visit www.washingtoncountyhospital.com/urgentcare.
