ummmm
i remember
for perhaps a flash-in-the-pan period in the 70s
clinics existed
could walk in
(if ambulatory, else ER)
exhibit your symptom
get stitched up,
get an xray, bone set, cast,
boil lanced, nasty splinter removed, course of antibiotics, ears, nose, & throat looked at, etc
basic 1st aid stuff + a bit of advanced
nominal fee if you could pay, else? shrug
saves ER resources
now?
lol!
good luck!
