I have always been proud of my good health. As a kid, the worst medical problem that I experienced was a sprained ankle from skate boarding. I never spent any time in a hospital, nor did I miss a day of college or work because of sickness.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not a health fanatic popping vitamins and doing the latest exercise fads. True, I do not smoke tobacco products; but, I do enjoy an occasional beer or a glass of wine. While I own a car, I try to either walk or ride my bicycle for short trips from my house. I also regularly play tennis, golf, or bowl. I consider myself to be in pretty good shape.
I also try to be a well-organized guy, preparing for most eventualities that might occur in my life. However, I had never given much thought to medical emergencies because I have never needed a primary health care physician or had to visit an emergency room.
Then, one day while in my home workshop, I reached up for a hammer on a high shelf. It fell and gave me a heavy blow on the nose. Aside from the pain, my nose was bleeding like a stuck pig. The flow would not stop. I held my head back and tried to stop the bleeding with a towel, but that just made it difficult to see the Yellow Pages. I was frantically searching for somewhere to get help because I did not think my injury was serious enough to warrant a 9-1-1 call.
Fortunately, I found the details for Walk-in Clinic Daytona Beach! They weren’t that far away so I called a cab and rushed there. The receptionist quickly took my details and I was being treated by a fully qualified doctor in no time. The Doctor stopped the bleeding and dressed my nose. Not only are their charges reasonable but, had it been a more costly procedure, they are able to accept most major insurance.
