would you go to urgent care?

So I have been congested for over 2 weeks now.  It started with my overnight shift but thought nothing of it since I always get run down.  Then 10 ago I felt the congestion move into my ear and it hasn't left.  So this is 10 days that I can't hear and there is a ringing in my ear. I have taken allegra and sudafed to try and break it up and it's not working.  The problem is I don't have a PCP and I will be  responsible for the entire bill from the urgent care since our insurance sucks and none of the urgent cares are covered.  I don't have any pain just a clogged feeling.  All I want is someone to look in my ear and see if it is infected or just clogged. Why is healthcare so expensive?  I really shouldn't be having to have this debate

    I can't believe you can't find a doctor who can get you in right away. I know my husband just switched doctors, and they got him in that same week... just for a physical/check-up.

    He is now going to Dr. Hartman. Not sure of his #, but he's over on N. Bailey... right near the post office, I think.

    I agree Jul! Try calling the place DH and I go to. I posted their contact info in your post last week about PCP. We love it there and I know if you told them you were sick they'd get you in right away!

    They usually wont take you for a sick visit as a new patient.  Did you try to set up an check-up appt. with a Dr, then tell the nurse you are sick when you get there?  Or did you call your insurance and ask them what you should do?

    Well you def. need to find a dr on your insurance.. but urgent care is generally like $120.. so i don't know if thats worth it to you or not. Its not a TON, but its enough!
