What Happens When You Come In
The first few minutes
A member of the clinical team checks your temperature, pulse, breathing and blood pressure, and asks what brought you in, when it started and what makes it better or worse. Those first answers shape everything that follows, so say the thing you are most worried about first, even if it feels small.
Tests on the day
Depending on the problem, a rapid test, urine sample, bloodwork or imaging may be done during the visit. Your provider will explain why each one is being done and what it would change.
Antibiotics and why they are not always given
Most coughs, sore throats, sinus congestion and stomach upsets are viral, and antibiotics do nothing for a virus while still carrying side effects. If your provider does not prescribe one, ask what to watch for and when to come back. That plan matters more than a prescription.
