Urgent Care in Tukwila: Tuberculosis, King County’s Silent Killer

What makes things worse is the fact that a vaccine for TB currently doesn’t exist, leaving health units hard-pressed if an outbreak of TB ever materializes. Thankfully, certain medical facilities, such as those managed by U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group, provide urgent care in Tukwila, King County, and can offer TB tests so that the disease can be diagnosed and treated early on before it worsens.

TB is an airborne disease that usually attacks a person’s pulmonary system, giving the patient chronic coughs, fevers, and night sweats that last for weeks. While a person with a relatively strong immune system may be able to fight off the germs that cause the disease, he or she can spread TB by coughing or sneezing in public.

How Different Medical Apps Help Make Urgent Care in Tukwila Better

New medical apps allow doctors to make diagnosing patients and selecting treatment options easier. Such medical apps are especially useful when a patient has a condition that the doctor is not particularly familiar with. With apps, the doctor can get information about it in seconds, as well as learn effective treatment strategies.

There are also apps that help facilitate communication between doctors and patients who do not speak the same language. One example allows the doctor to form an accurate diagnosis of an ailment based on answers to yes or no questions written in the patient’s own language. Yet another app cuts down the time required calculating medicine doses for pediatric patients by automating the process.

Urgent Care in Tukwila: Never Neglect a Sports-related Concussion

The study monitored 351 soccer players aged 11 to 14 years old from soccer clubs in Puget Sound, and recorded 59 concussions over the course of 43,742 athletic exposure hours. Calculated, this translates into a risk of suffering at least 1.2 concussions for every 1,000 hours that a female middle-school soccer player plays—roughly 11 full games.

Among the girls who suffered concussions during the course of the study, a little more than half continued to play, despite showing symptoms of concussion, and neglected seeking immediate medical attention.
