Immedial Care
" Feeling ill? Rely on Immediate Care and more. See us at PDQ urgent care & more." - Richard F. Macko
" I had a really tough time finding any medical professional when I got my first breast cancer medical diagnosis. The physician gave me a number of aspirins and told me to follow these guidelines: drink 8 glasses of water per day, take Tylenol 2 times a day, use the heating pad on my abdomen, put a cloth in my mouth and let it remain there for fifteen minutes. Also, if I feel stomach or digestion discomfort, do not eat. Likewise, when I'm having problem breathing, hold the breath and attempt to unwind as much as possible."
" My son's birthday was the other day. I took him to the pediatrician's office and he is doing well. But there was one issue - the nurse there recommended we take our child to Immediate Care at Yorba Linda Airport since his grandmother's insurance coverage will cover the majority of his care through September." - Karen
"I simply learnt that my friend's child required Immediate Care when he fell ill at work. The physician was not able to see him for 2 hours, but the man remained in steady condition when he can be found in. He has a high fever and a chest cold. He also has a kidney infection and a sinus infection. His body immune system is so low that the medical professional says he might need to have an infusion of Vitamin D and he is being held overnight.
"The doctor discussed that he probably would have passed away had he gone to the emergency clinic at the regional medical facility instead of going to IMEDI Construction. He was in read more good condition when he entered and the doctors were very kind and client with him. He entrusted to antibiotics and a prescription for some muscle relaxers which I will hopefully be taking later this week." - Greg W.

New urgent and primary care centre opens on Pandora Avenue
Urgent and primary care centres are one of the main components of the province’s efforts to address the ongoing doctor shortage, with 25 such centres opened since the first was established in the West Shore in 2018.
They offer care that’s needed within 12 to 24 hours, aim to connect patients with a primary care provider at the clinic or in the community, and provide a range of practitioners, including a mental-health and addictions component.
They aim to divert non-emergency cases from hospital emergency rooms.
Some doctors say the province should do more to support and expand family practices rather than pumping money into new urgent and primary care centres.
They question whether the UPCC model actually works to attach patients to family doctors, or just drains money and lures staff away from existing clinics.
“I’m very concerned at how many of these UPCCs are now opened in the Greater Victoria area and the negative effects they have on existing private practices and private walk-in clinics,” said Dr. Benjamin How of the Oak Bay Medical Clinic. “I’m concerned that these taxpayer-funded UPCCs are not forced to take on patients on a longitudinal basis but are only operating as walk-in clinics.”
