I spent several hours at “Urgent Care” last evening for a bad bout of food poisoning, probably caused by a King Soopers salad… I try to eat healthy, but apparently the healthy food these days will try to kill you as well.
Kaiser’s Urgent Care is anything but urgent, as I spent two and a half hours sitting in a waiting room with a 104-degree temperature and feeling like I was freezing to death. The shakes were the worst part, and I’m still sore.
By the time they actually got around to me my temperature was down to 100.4, so they did a cursory check and sent me on my way. And the fee for this was a mere $50.
Fortunately, my roommate has a somewhat open prescription for amoxicillin being a kidney transplant recipient and therefore living on immunosuppressants. So, I’m self-medicating with Gatorade, the BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) regimen to get my insides straightened out, taking 500mg of amoxicillin every 12 hours, and trying to get some rest.
Bleh.
