You might say that I like outdoor adventures. I’m always looking for some new thrilling activity to do. Sometimes I have to go to one of the urgent cares in Phoenix to take care of an injury I receive during one of these activities. A couple of weeks ago was one of these times. Thankfully the urgent cares of Phoenix are generally fast, professional, and inexpensive. Within a couple hours of my crash landing I had seen a doctor and had my prescription filled.
This was my first experience with hang gliding, and even though I was injured it won’t be my last. The sport is a blast, you basically run and jump off a cliff holding on to what amounts to a giant kite. It was a thrill to soar so high above the ground and be able to see for miles. It was really a freak incident that caused me to seek medical attention. I was coming in for a landing and a sudden gust of wind flipped my glider awkwardly, causing me to crash into the ground on my shoulder. I was just glad that I didn’t hit my head or knock myself out, that could have been ugly.
I was able to drive myself to the clinic, and I got in to see the doctor right away. She could tell with a quick exam that I had separated my shoulder. Luckily for me I wasn’t going to need surgery on the shoulder. A couple of month of physical therapy and it will be as good as new. I never regret a decision to treat my injury at one of the many urgent cares here in Phoenix.
