My wife felt slightly unwell the last couple days, but then yesterday felt pretty crummy. She suspected a UTI. So she phoned her doctor's office and spoke to the nurse practitioner there who sent her to a specific lab 5 minutes from our house. She had to hurry because it was going to close within the next 20 minutes. She got to the lab to leave a sample, and meanwhile the doctor's office had called in a prescription to the local pharmacy. She went to the pharmacy and got the antibiotics. Took her first one at 5pm last night, and felt much better this morning. If the results come back that the prescription needs to be altered, the doctor can do that, but it looks like it's working great and all she has to do is finish the course.
I love modern medicine. If we were cave men, she'd just have to suffer through it and hope for the best. Drinking lots of water would be her only option.
