Fall and winter bring cold weather, along with the flu season and a resurgence in the spread of Covid-19. While doctors are still determining the exact cause of how Covid-19 spreads, we have known for years that the flu spreads when you’re around other people: by breathing in tiny infected airborne droplets when a sick person coughs, or sneezes, or by touching things that an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
Even though the medical community is well aware of how infection spreads, they seem adamant to hold on to the old way of doing things, packing dozens of sick patients into waiting rooms that are covered in infectious material. Anyone coming into the office is exposed to particulate matter floating in the air, and is much more likely to become ill due to their exposure to other sick people.
What if there was a way to access better care and skip that waiting room experience? That’s exactly what we had in mind when we redesigned the patient experience. Read more to find out how!

## A More Effective Method to Stay Safe During Cold Season
At , we take a revolutionary approach to you, the patient. It all starts in the waiting room, or rather, with no waiting room so that you’re not exposed to other people’s contagious germs. First, schedule an appointment with us, even if it’s right now, to find out when the next available appointment is. Then we offer you the option of getting a phone call, text message, or email to let you know that it’s time to come in.
This gives us time to wipe down and sanitize our common spaces between each patient visit – including any door handles, seats, and armrests. It might sound like a small step, but it’s one more thing we can do as we focus on the patient experience.
When you arrive at your appointment, you get access to a medical professional who stays with you throughout your appointment, so that you’re not shuffled around, or ignored. This ensures that you’re better taken care of. Plus, we offer testing and labs and results on the same stay, when possible, so that you can get a clearer picture and better treatment with every visit, then leave with a prescription, if needed.
It’s better quality health care than urgent care, plus you can skip the lines and waiting room crammed with sick people. For anyone feeling under the weather, it’s especially important to not be around other people feeling the same way, to protect your health and the people around you.

How to Beat the Urgent Care Lines and Get No-Wait Health Care Right Now
Avoid the long wait times at urgent care. Discover how to get no-wait health care at TheMediCentral. Learn valuable tips and tricks in our latest article.
## ***How to Beat the Urgent Care Lines and Get No-Wait Health Care Right Now***
Some seasons are busier than others, but why are there always long lines at Urgent Care? It seems like no matter when you go, you still have to wait for hours to be seen, which really defeats the urgent part of the equation. If you’re not a fan of waiting for hours in an enclosed room with sick people all around you, then you need to know something.
You can get the same quality attention to your health care matters as Urgent Care, without waiting in line. It’s the same breakthrough technology that some DMV’s are using to reduce foot traffic and long lines.
Imagine getting a phone call, text, or email for when your appointment is, then accessing medical professionals to help you diagnose and treat your condition. A care worker stays with you throughout your stay so you’re not shuffled around, or ignored. Plus, you get your labs while you’re still at the medical facility, when possible, so that you can get a clearer picture and better treatment with every visit.
Sound like a better way? It is. Read more to find out how you can get it for yourself, covered by insurance.

### Why Are There Lines At Urgent Care?
With all of our modern technological innovations, especially in healthcare, you would think that the broken system of waiting in line for hours while sick or injured, surrounded by other sick people, would be a thing of the past. It’s common sense to not surround yourself with other sick people, if you need care.
Yet urgent cares are using the same system of check-in as the medieval times. You check in and give your name, then wait in a room full of people until it’s your turn.
But behind the scenes, the urgent care staff aren’t overly taxed on time. They simply have a process to rush people in and out, trying to address one simple thing at a time. This leads to drastic inefficiencies, where you wait for hours, only to be rushed through a system designed to quickly diagnose you without proper care and testing first, which is inconvenient, dispiriting, and dangerous.
In their rush to get people through the system, some facilities are still prescribing antibiotics before they have a diagnosis, which is bad medicine. It can lead to antibiotic-resistant infections and a patient resistance to important and life saving medicine.
