Immedial Care
" Feeling ill? Count On Immediate Care and more. See us at PDQ immediate care & more." - Richard F. Macko
" I had a really bumpy ride discovering any medical professional when I got my first breast cancer medical diagnosis. The medical professional provided me a number of aspirins and told me to follow these guidelines: beverage 8 glasses of water daily, take Tylenol two times a day, use the heating pad on my abdominal area, put a fabric in my mouth and let it remain there for fifteen minutes. Likewise, if I feel stomach or gastrointestinal discomfort, don't eat. Also, when I'm having problem breathing, hold the breath and attempt to unwind as much as possible."
" My son's birthday was yesterday. I took him to the pediatrician's office and he is doing well. However there was one issue - the nurse there recommended we take our kid to Immediate Care at Yorba Linda Airport since his granny's insurance coverage will cover most of his care through September." - Karen
"I just found out that my friend's son required Immediate Care when he fell ill at work. The physician was unable to see him for 2 hours, but the man was in steady condition when he came in. He has a high fever and a chest cold. He likewise has a kidney infection read more and a sinus infection. His body immune system is so low that the doctor says he may need to have an infusion of Vitamin D and he is being held overnight.
"The doctor described that he probably would have died had he gone to the emergency clinic at the regional health center instead of going to IMEDI Construction. He was in good shape when he entered and the medical professionals were very kind and patient with him. He entrusted prescription antibiotics and a prescription for some muscle relaxers which I will ideally 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.”
