After an injury to a rather sensitive part of one of my boys’ anatomies, I took him to see his doctor. $10. They looked at the wound, thought it looked odd, referred me to the Urologist. I was hoping they’d wait a while to call to schedule an appointment, but no, they got us in today, less than 2 weeks later. So efficient. 
Another $10. 5 minute appointment. Probably a blood blister, if it doesn’t go away in 6 months call again. When will I ever learn?!
On the plus side, the copay is ONLY $10, and Rose babysat so I only had to bring one child. But I wish they’d said first, “Keep an eye on it and call us if it gets worse or doesn’t get better in 6 months” rather than having to go to two appointments to get that answer! And I wish I had the backbone and clear thinking to come up with that conclusion myself before calling! But at the back of my mind is always, “but what if it’s something serious…..”
My nephew need stiches in a rather sensitive part as well 2 years ago and he was 16 at the time (Surfing injury)
I don't think they dare say "call us if it gets worse". I have found that if I call, they will say to bring them in because of the liability issue. So you pretty much have to make the best decision you can.
Yes, that seems to be the case. I have often thought that THEY don't have to get three kids in the car and haul them to the doctor's visit for a "just in case" turned into a "go home and drink plenty of fluids" visit.
