Talk:Urgent care center

POV
This page sounds like it was written by a PR guy for Urgent Care Clinics. I've been an Urgent Care doc for 25 years, and there are drawbacks and questions of conflict of interest, thus my edit. Carl 17:09, 10 January 2007

Advantages of urgent care clinics over emergency departments
Have deleted this as I think it could be done better - see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyclinics_in_England which presents a spectrum of opinions and arguments for and against. In the meantime a good discussion of the advantages/disadvantages of urgent care clinics is available here: http://www.bmj.com/content/350/bmj.h1657 and in response here: http://www.bmj.com/content/350/bmj.h1657/rr

Globalize tag
I see that an editor tagged this article with the globalize template. What is the specific complaint? Whereas the concept of urgent care might be exclusive to the United States and perhaps other industrialized nations (obviously in poorer nations, even basic medical care is difficult to come by), I'm not sure how this changes the definition of the concept. Does "urgent care" mean something different in the Third World? Is it necessary to point out that most of the world doesn't have urgent care? What global perspective is missing? --GentlemanGhost (talk) 18:34, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's the emphasis on US definitions and institutions that I think is inappropriate - The section Organized medicine and urgent care, Codes for urgent care and Postgraduate fellowship training for instance. Rather than discussing how these areas are handled in a general way the sections simply talk about the US experience.  -- SiobhanHansa 18:51, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying. :D --GentlemanGhost (talk) 18:59, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I dissent with the view that there is a POV problem with this article, and I don't see any consensus in favor of a ruling of POV conflict. So therefore after this writing I am removing the POV tag. 68.236.155.129 (talk) 03:13, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Urgent Care Rest of World
I've renamed the history section "Urgent Care in the United States." Anyone looking to improve this article, I think it could do with an urgent care for the rest of the world summary, if not a breakdown of other major countries where they are frequently used.
