Hi everyone,
I just wanted to post something that I've realized could have saved me about $800 earlier this year. I've had a few disturbing symptoms with lyme (haven't we all) and my heart symptoms sent me to the ER. Many walk in clinics can now check your heart, do an ekg etc. And it is WAY more affordable. Some are open late (til 9) and some are even open 24 hrs near me.
I would encourage each of you to look up a few walk in clinics located near you so if you have an issue, go there. In fact, it was at one of these walk in clinics that a dr suggested lyme disease to me. If it is truly an emergency-go to the ER or they will call an ambulance for you.
It was nice having a dr sometimes to calm me down without paying the high price tag of an ER visit. Also, waiting time is MUCH better.
