SICK VISITS
What do sick visits mean?
Sick visits are when you go to the doctor, a practitioner, or an urgent care facility to address symptoms that are new or worsening or medical conditions. Usually, you arrange a sick visit to take care of an urgent injury or condition. However, a diagnosis of a chronic illness that you may not have recognized you had prior to your appointment can come about as a result of certain sick visits.
Before beginning a focused physical exam during a routine sick visit at Mujtaba NP, the practitioner will ask you about your health history. You should be as specific as you can when describing your symptoms and how long they have lasted.
As long as the patient is available, we aim to schedule all sick visits at Mujtaba NP on the same day.
REASONS
When should I schedule a sick visit?
Sick visits are an important step in both recognizing unexplained illnesses and determining how to treat them. Adults and children can both develop acute sickness symptoms at any time. Adults and children frequently arrange sick visits for the following causes:
- Flu and cold
- COVID-19 Concerns
- Strep Infections
- Rashes
- Pneumonia
- Acute wounds (e.g., cuts, scrapes, small fractures)
- Ear infections
- Urinary tract infection
- Asthma attack
- Allergic reactions
- Musculoskeletal Injury
- Wounds that need stitches or skin infections
Patients may schedule sick visits to diagnose or monitor chronic conditions like hypertension, hyperthyroidism, back pain, or diabetes.
