Belly pain on a friday night? Avoid the Urgent Care or Emergency Room

On a friday night (while her husband was out of town) one of our patients developed severe pain in her lower belly. She was not sure what it was but realized she needed medical attention. She was getting ready to go to the ER and called her own mother to come over to stay with the kids who were almost ready for bed…. and then she remembered… she had a Direct Primary Care Membership.

So she texted me.
This is the unpredictable moment when having Direct Primary Care (DPC) makes all the difference.
Here’s what happened next:
💬 She didn’t wait on hold. She just messaged me directly.
📞 I called her within minutes. We talked about her symptoms and ruled out anything serious.
💊 I called in a prescription. She had a urinary tract infection and by the next morning, she was feeling 100% better.

🙌 No ER. No babysitters. No stress.
