So last time I updated was Friday and I said I was feeling better. I was wrong. I noticed a rash on my body later in the day, and there was no one to take me to the Dr. so I took myself to the Urgent Care place in Smithfield. They are retards.

Do you know what the problem is now? Although I'm also no doctor, have they tried testing for chronic fatigue? I ask because my friend CJ from URI had it was a year before they detected it. He would get really sick whenever he drank alcohol because it did something to his liver, and he was misdiagnosed as having mono and lyme disease.

Feel better soon! :(

Ya, that must have been not good for your friend, and they said I have mono, strep, and Scarlet Fever. I think they are right seeing as they did a lot of test (specific ones for mono and strep), and it's going away now that they have put me on medicine for it. I'll keep it in mind though. :)

Smithfield "Urgent" Care darthsurge August 17 2004, 21:11:27 UTC
I miss the fish...I too have had some bad luck with so called Urgent care in Smithfield. I went there for my sickness and they did probably some of those same tests. Only to discover that I didn't have mono or strep. And later that day the doctor's called me to inform me that yes, I do have strep and not to take tylenol. Also I had to get the IV, which is how I called out of work, as I'm getting an IV, and they still called the next day to see if I would go in on my day off, after I just called out sick with an IV in my arm.

Thankfully, no one at Target called to see if I could come in to work. I have officially decided that the Urgent Care in Smithfield knows nothing, and is the worst place EVER.
