That's what ours always seems to say. "If it's not bad, we'll schedule an appointment. If it is bad, go the the ER" and wait 6 hrs. That shit is frustrating.

Happened to my wife a few months ago. She went to urgent care instead, told she needed to go to the ER for more testing. 6 hrs later she's told she's pregnant and ectopic. And there's nothing we can do for you. Go see an obgyn on monday(it was Saturday night).

Once she did we found out it was NOT ectopic and we're now welcoming our first child soon.

But yea, we totally get your point. It's maddening.
