East West Urgent Care: Fill & Download for Free

The answer is also going to depend on the location of the facility. A facility like this one Urgent Care Upper West Side, Broadway, New York that borders some of the lower income neighborhoods is going to see more patients on some type of public assistance than a similar facility, from the same organization, out on Huntington, Long Island.Urgent care centers tend to be positioned in high-visibility, consumer accessible locations, so you won't find them either in vast urban wastelands (only 3 of the Urgent Care facilities listed in Yelp's "Top 10 Urgent Care facilities in Compton, are actually in Compton), or low population areas, so 20 square miles of Gillette WY will have fewer facilities than 6 square blocks of New York's Upper East Side.I guess that you could expect the demographics to skew a bit more urban than rural, though not so much "urban decay"-urban.

Germany has one of the, if not the, best weekend medical support structure I have seen so far.If you know me, have read some of my other answers, you might know, that I am neither a fan of the German health care system in general, nor the weird deification of a made up “this is German” one in US media (during the ACA discussions, this fantastical “free” system was touted as a huge improvement over the US one). That, however, does not apply to off-hour and weekend medical service.First, there is the free 116 117 call. It’s amazing. Unlike the ones at NHS or the Urgent Care nurse, you get triaged and transferred to a physician, who can decide right then and there to either come out, send out an emergency vehicle with paramedics or paramedics and a specialist physician, to call you into one of the nearby ERs with a full patient record of your conversation, to write you a prescription and have it either brought to you or have you pick it up, or to give you instructions how to deal with it.Secondly, there are more and more Bereitschaftspraxen. Those are often 24h medical services, but always open on weekends and holidays. While you might have to wait a bit if you’re not in danger of dying, you can see a medical professional without going to the ER most anywhere in West Germany within a 17 mile radius, and within 35 miles in some parts of East Germany.Now, when it comes to pharmacies, you’re somewhat buggered. By law, there has to be one open pharmacy on weekends and nights within one of the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung (insurance) sections. Some of those are huge, and I had to drive 20 kilometers once to get medicine at night. In larger cities this isn’t an issue, but out in the countryside it could be.

If you need urgent care, I would suggest going to the emergency room. There are a number of excellent hospitals in New York City.New York Presbyterian Hospital - two locations (http://nyp.org/directions.html):Columbia University Medical Center http://nyp.org/facilities/columbia.html on West 168th StreetCornell Weill Medical Center http://nyp.org/facilities/weillcornell.html on East 68th StreetNew York University Langone Medical Center http://www.med.nyu.edu/directions-parking on First Avenue.Part of NYU Medical Center is Bellevue Hospital http://www.nyc.gov/html/hhc/html/facilities/bellevue-directions.shtml also on First AvenueThe ER there is very busy.
