My large primary care clinic offered “same day urgent” appts for our patients yesterday (and all this week), to help reduce avoidable emerg visits…

But…

**Zero** outpatient labs or imaging facilities were open… in the whole city… on Dec 27?

So…
I had to send 3 people to emerg for low acuity issues.
