Got there, the provider had called in sick and they couldn't do anything, gave me a list of their other sites. "Or you could go to the ER". AG found me an independent place close enough that saw me, said I didn't quite need stitches, and re-bandaged it and gave me a tetanus shot. Which had me fevered and miserable in the middle of the night.

WTF is wrong with this state? Took me seriously 90 minutes to get seen. What if it had been worse?
