Adult sick visits help with sudden medical needs in between checkups. Mild to moderate illness or injury does not always get better with home care alone. When this happens, adult sick visits can help people feel better faster and get back to their lives.
Adult sick visits are appointments patients make with a doctor when they are sick or hurt in between routine checkups. Sudden illness or injury does not always improve with time. When illness and injuries are medical emergencies, people should head to an emergency room. However, non-emergencies call for adult sick visits. Here are some examples of when to consider making an adult sick visit:
Sudden flare-ups of chronic conditions may also call for an adult sick visit.
While many illnesses or injuries improve independently with home care and time, many do not. It is important to know when to see a doctor. Sometimes, an illness or injury seems minor when it is more serious. Also, by seeing a doctor, patients can access treatment and medication to help ease symptoms and recover more swiftly. An adult sick visit can provide peace of mind and help patients recover, returning to their work and lives sooner.
For medical emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room. A medical emergency is any illness or injury that may result in loss of life or permanent disability. However, non-emergency sudden medical concerns are best handled with a sick visit.
In addition to one’s regular doctor, many facilities offer same-day appointments for adult sick visits. The following are places to turn for treatment of a sudden illness or injury.
It is a good idea to find a location close to home or work and know where you are going to go before injury or illness strikes. Some clinics allow online same-day appointment scheduling and check-in. Others take appointments by phone or walk-in.
Sick visits vary depending on the issue. Most appointments involve an exam, a discussion of medical history and current symptoms, and any necessary diagnostic testing. The provider will make a diagnosis and recommend treatment. It is important for patients to inform the doctor of any chronic conditions or medications. The patient will leave with any prescriptions or treatment instructions and possibly an appointment for follow-up.
