The Awesomist Thing Ever
For this weekend, anyway. Yesterday John was helping a new member of the ward move in across the street. While hauling the couch up three flights of stairs, he sliced his knuckle open on the rusty metal railing. It didn't bleed much, but I told him he needed to go get a tetanus shot. We have an urgent care down the street, so I got online to see if they are in-network with our insurance. On their homepage, they advertise "Web Check-In". Knowing from experience how slammed with sports injuries urgent cares can be on Saturdays, I checked John in online. A few minutes later someone from the office called to make sure the bleeding was under control. Then she told him the wait would be 3 1/2 hours and they would call him on his cell when the doctor was ready to see him. How cool is that? Instead of sitting in the waiting room for three and half hours, he got to sit at home and watch football and take a nap! So around 4 they called, he went, they slathered his wound, gave him a tetanus shot, and bada-bing, bada-boom, he's done. I love technology!

Oh my goodness. Every office should do that--dental, pediatrics, etc. What a great idea!
