I would like to share the story of how I ended up in an urgent care in Gilbert just a few short weeks ago. It started off as a typical Saturday, and I decided to get some work done around the house. Our roof had been in need of some repairs for several weeks, ever since we had a powerful storm come through and do some damage. Since I am pretty experienced in construction, I climbed up the ladder to fix them myself. Little did I know in a few short hours I’d be at the urgent care of Gilbert right near my house.
The roof was worse off than we initially believed, and I realized that I might need to get some help on the repairs. I started across the roof to head back inside and let my wife know that I was going to call a friend for some help. I never made it back to the ladder. A weak spot had developed from water damage, and I literally fell right through the roof into my living room. Thankfully we have a one story house, but I knew right away that I had broken my ankle.
My wife drove me to the urgent care center, since we didn’t want to wait in the emergency room for hours on end. I was seen very quickly, and the doctor was able to do everything they would have at the ER. I was given an x-ray to confirm that there was a break, then my ankle was set and put in a cast. All in all the trip was a lot quicker than it could have been. I am glad that we have the option to go to an urgent care center instead of the hospital.
