What other options do I have??
Brief Answer:
If you're having seizures you can visit the ER
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
short term appointments can be difficult to find. If you're having a seizure then this is a medical emergency and you can visit the ER.
There is always the option to visit a doctor in private practice. The hospitals are usually very busy. Private practice appointment availability may vary. Explain your situation to the secretary or the doctor and they'll probably try to help. Obviously I cannot provide specific information about Hudson, as I don't practice there, but this is the rule.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!
