In the coming months, Ascension St. Vincent’s expects to see longer wait times at the Emergency Room because of cold and flu season. However, some visits can be taken care of with your primary care doctor, or at an urgent care clinic.
Dr. Colleen Donohue said most people who get sick this winter will be dealing with a virus. They will feel sick initially, but begin to feel better in a few days. If the symptoms persist, then it may be a bacterial infection.
If you are sick and need to see a doctor, it’s best to start with your primary or urgent care doctor. They are able to help remedy symptoms such as fever, sore throat and cough. Going to the Emergency Room for something that can be taken care of at urgent care extends the wait time for everyone. Donohue said if you are experiencing chest pain, a terrible headache or stroke symptoms, that is when you should go to the ER.
