Red face I Got a strange request, HALP!!!

Anyone got any spare Amoxicillin (antibiotrics) I can get off them today?

I get a wicked sinus infection once or twice a year that I usually get an Amox perscription from my doctor that knocks it out in a couple days, otherwise it just knocks me out for a couple weeks.

As of right now I cant get in to see my doc till at least Weds, I need to find somebody with some extras today so I dont miss BAM.
HALP!!!

This is the ultra-****ty-waste-your-day way... but if you go to urgent care (not the ER) you can be seen today and get a prescription. If you hurry and go earlier there will be less dumbasses that hurt themselves trying to do DIY projects around their house that you will have to wait behind in line.
You could also ask your Dr. to just call the script in to your pharmacy since this is a regular occurrence and you both know what's going on, and then you wouldn't need to see him at all.
Hope you feel better and can get some antibiotics soon!

Oh, dang, doctor not around, well scratch idea #2.
Your dentist can also call scripts in for you, too.... if you happen to be on a friendly-type basis where he will do that kind of thing for you? That one is a long shot

Jeremy, I'd do Danielle's first option of urgent care (do they have Doctors on Duty in the bay area?). But this is why its always good to have a doctor in the family

FYI: Churchkey does not count as "urgent care"

Agreed! I did try to get my brother to write him a script but his response was "Yes but I'm not a drug dealer. Only if they are my patient." What a jerk!

My granddad only does it for family I think. But it's nice just asking him for something quick. Kind of like going "MOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!" to get breakfast

My brother lives in Oregon, so I knew it would be a long shot, but I wanted to try anyway.

My breakfast tactics semi-worked! It's not every day I can wake up and there is someone there to feed me, I like to take advantage when I'm home with my parents who have an obligation to feed their (adult) daughter

Depending upon what kind of insurance you have, I'd advise against going to an urgent care because a lot of them charge you the same as an ER visit. I don't know how your insurance is, but if I go to the ER, its 50 bucks plus 20% of the cost which is usually 1 grand. It comes out to about 250 unless you are admitted.

I would call the office, every doctor has an on call or backup plan. If he has a nurse practitioner or a phyisican assistant, they both can call in scripts.

Most doctor have an on call doctor as well when they are out of town. Maybe try and see if your doctor has one and have it called in.
