[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1700626, member: 17524"] We have tested positve for Covid. There is a walk-in clinic here that the ER doctor (previously at the local hospital) started up. He's great. When we found out we were exposed we went to this clinic. They tested us right away and when both came back positive they advised us to have the Regeneron infusion. They sat that up with the hospital for the next morning. I haven't been sick so I wasn't sure I needed to get the infusion. They said I should at my age, so I agreed. The hospital said to come to the ER parking lot and call the number they gave me and they would walk out and get us. I tried the number. Call wouldn't go through. I tried the hospital, call wouldn't go through. I tried again. Still wouldn't go through so I walked to the ER from the parking lot. Told them we were here and the call wouldn't go through. They said they had heard that from others. Ok so we got the infusion. Piece of cake. They did ask if we had talked to our primary care provider. We hadn't. We had done everything through this walk-in clinic. We go home. Mr. FH starts running a fever. 102. I call the hospital. Can't get through. Call the clinic attached to the hospital. Can't get through. Called the Clinic where we were to begin with, can't get through. I'm getting scared, as the paper talking about the infusion says to watch for reaction and that elevated temperature could show allergic reaction. We live 15 miles out of town. So I drive him in. The clinic said the problem was Verizon...they got his fever down. Dr. thought he heard a rattle in his chest so quickly did an X Ray which came out good. No lung issue. So we went home with instructions to alternate between Ibroprofen and Tylenol to keep his fever down. All went well. That was Wednesday. Yesterday the doctor called to see how Mr. FH was doing. It's a walk in clinic with one doctor and not sure how many nurses. He doesn't have to answer to corporate, it's his practice, not theirs. We are so fortunate to have him and that he truly cares! Not to mention his primary health care provider has not called to find out anything from us, even after having the infusion in his hospital. There definitely is a difference. There are lots of people moving in this area. It is taxing our healthcare services to the max. They are adding more rooms above the hospital. Friend in Mt said they are building a new hospital in a fairly small town there, plus several clinics have opened up. Besides that they have a new nursing school there and just got the biggest donation of money in America's history for the nursing school. I wish you the best 504RP. I think you have gotten some good advice here. Only other thing I can think of is to find another clinic of some kind that would take you. [/QUOTE]
