Comments on: Clinic construction ahead of schedule, say health officials http://www.ramonasentinel.com/2013/01/25/clinic-construction-ahead-of-schedule-say-health-officials/ Ramona's Community Paper Since 1886 Sat, 25 May 2013 20:09:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Jane Tanaka MD http://www.ramonasentinel.com/2013/01/25/clinic-construction-ahead-of-schedule-say-health-officials/#comment-629022 Jane Tanaka MD Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:38:48 +0000 http://www.ramonasentinel.com/?p=20638#comment-629022 I remember when pts would be coming into my psychiatry office in downtown Ramona years ago with bloody lacerations and broken arms, looking for an urgent care center. So glad Ramona will have its own urgent care soon!!!! Oh , I wish that somehow the lab draw station would be in the clinic! Its so much easier for pts to see their doc and then get their labs drawn right next door! Also regarding urgent care... realize that the docs at Ramona Arch already do their best to get everyone in as quickly as they can... but sometimes my patients are caling me on weekends and late nights for antibiotic rxs and medical advice, and I'm their psychiatrist , not their primary care physician. ... I suspect many pts are winging it after hours in stead of driving to the urgent care in Poway... so the hours really do need to be longer at the Ramona urgent care please!!!
