Urgent care
Lab testing
My main problem was I told them all the medication that I was on & they gave me prescription for a medication that I shouldn't take with my medicines. So it seems like doctor didn't read my chart & wasnt paying attention to what I could actually take. But CVS said that they are supposed to verify my medications & that if there's a problem with the medication then CVS is supposed to catch it. Well they never caught it either. The COVID medicine that I was supposed to get wasn't ready so I went back the next day & the pharmacist told me that I was supposed to get the COVID medicine on the same day that it was prescribed because I was supposed to take it the same day. But it turns out that the doctor prescribed a COVID medicine that cost $1000 & the pharmacist said that the doctor prescribed the wrong Covid medication. She was supposed to prescribe a different COVID medicine. So if you go to Immediate Care on Hickory Lane by Walmart then you need to make sure that they do their job.

I just moved back to the area in August and have not established a primary care physician yet.  Feeling bad to horrible in a few hours yesterday prompted me to get an appointment.   The facility was clean, all care providers were kind and made me feel like they really and really cared about helping me feel better. They also recognized that because I was sick, I didn’t want to sit around and wait.  Thank you to everyone!

About Iron Testing

Iron Testing is a diagnostic test that measures the levels of iron in the blood. Iron is an essential mineral required for the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Testing for iron levels helps assess iron deficiency or iron overload, both of which can have significant health implications.

Who Should Get Tested

Residents of Clayton, Indiana, with symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, dizziness, and shortness of breath may benefit from Iron Testing. Individuals with certain risk factors, such as chronic blood loss, poor dietary iron intake, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, may also require testing.

Test Methods for Iron

Iron Testing typically involves measuring various components in the blood, including:

  1. Serum Iron: This measures the amount of iron circulating in the blood.
  2. Transferrin and Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC): These tests assess the body's capacity to bind and transport iron.
  3. Ferritin: This test measures ferritin, a protein that stores iron in cells and reflects iron levels in the body.

Interpreting the Results

The interpretation of Iron Testing results involves analyzing the levels of iron, transferrin, TIBC, and ferritin. Abnormalities in these values may indicate iron deficiency anemia or iron overload conditions.

Importance of Iron Testing

Iron Testing is important for:

  • Diagnosing iron deficiency anemia
  • Evaluating iron metabolism and storage in the body
  • Assessing the response to iron supplementation or treatment

Following the Test

After Iron Testing, healthcare providers discuss the results with individuals and recommend appropriate interventions based on the test findings. Treatment options may include iron supplementation, dietary changes, and addressing the underlying cause of iron imbalance.
