" Feeling ill? Depend On Immediate Care and more. See us at PDQ immediate care & more." - Richard F. Macko
" I had a really bumpy ride finding any doctor when I got my very first breast cancer medical diagnosis. The physician offered me a couple of aspirins and informed me to follow these directions: beverage 8 glasses of water per day, take Tylenol 2 times a day, use the heating pad on my abdominal area, put a fabric in my mouth and let it stay there for fifteen minutes. Likewise, if I feel stomach or gastrointestinal pain, don't consume. Also, when I'm having problem breathing, hold the breath and try to relax as much as possible."
" My son's birthday was yesterday. I took him to the pediatrician's workplace and he is doing well. However there was one problem - the nurse there suggested we take our boy to Immediate Care at Yorba Linda Airport because his granny's insurance will cover most of his care through September." - Karen
"I simply discovered that my friend's boy needed Immediate Care when he fell ill at work. The physician was unable to see him for 2 hours, however the man remained in stable condition when he came in. He has a high fever and a chest cold. He also has a kidney infection and a sinus infection. His body immune system is so low that the physician states he may need to have an infusion of Vitamin D and he is being held overnight.
"The physician discussed 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 went in and the physicians were really kind and client with him. He entrusted to prescription antibiotics and a prescription for some muscle relaxers which I will ideally be taking later today." - 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.”
