18 分鐘內	Daxifamily daxifamily_	Urgent care would have been more appropriate. Are you dying? Then it’s not an emergency
3 小時內	Janis JL coffeethenstuff	Because you are only supposed to go when it’s an emergency.
3 小時內	Sara Bachelder serra_brooke	Check out KonnectMD. Unlimited virtual urgent care and most prescriptions free for the whole family for <$60/month. No germy waiting rooms, no deductible, no copays🙌 Konnectmdagency.com/sarabnassociates
3 小時內	Anne Young anne_young_genx	Because while your kidney infection is dangerous if least untreated is not as critical as other patients. Welcome to triage
3 小時內	Dave ace_rosin	You could have suspected anything. What you most likely have is normal vitals, making you not an emergency.
3 小時內	Laney Lou delanie_menacher	If you can post on threads from the emergency room, it's not an emergency. Go to quick care next time.
3 小時內	Candice Nicole hellocandice84	Urgent, but not emergent.
3 小時內	miss14_sti	I was there 12 hours for a kidney infection and only admitted when my blood pressure couldn’t come up, my heart rate was irregular, I was incoherent, and fever at 103°. THEN I was taken back with a kidney infection. They sent me there from walk in because they couldn’t treat it as a walk in.
4 小時內	Aimee Matarangolo aimeecm1982	Because it’s for emergencies. They triage by most critical to least critical. If you’re left to wait in the waiting room, be glad. That means you’re not emergent.
4 小時內	Christina Dunham c.dunham24	I am sorry you are getting really shitty comments downplaying how you are feeling. I’ll politely explain as an ER nurse. IMMEDIATE life threats are seen first and taken back right away, even if others got there before them or by ambulance. Again for the people in the comments, if you have a true kidney infection, called pyelonephritis, it MAY or may not require IV antibiotics depending on severity and medical history. I hope you feel better.
