What is urgent care used for?
user
Urgent care, or walk-in clinics, are a form of doctor's office that provide treatment for minor health concerns. Like an emergency room, they accept patients without appointments, but unlike an emergency room, urgent care will not perform many of the procedures an emergency room can.

So what kind of problems would you go there with?
user
You could go to urgent care for issues such as flu symptoms, minor cuts and scrapes, minor burns, some types of skin infections, and broken bones.  Urgent care centers are also great for issues that don't require extensive care, such as mild fevers, or a skin infection you've been treating at home.
assistant
That is good to know.
