"I want to do it again, you want to do it again. We're gonna wait."
Makenzie Hobik is full of personality.....and now that the 2 year old is back to herself again....its overflowing.
"I got my fish, my fish."
She wasn't as bubbly September 22nd when her dad Wayne brought her to MedStar Health After Hours Care in Perry Hall.
"I picked my daughter up from day care downstairs and noticed a little rash on her arm. Took her home and it was really red and I didn't want to take any chances."
The After Hours Care was just what the doctor ordered.
"She was fine. They took care of her and we went and saw her primary care the next day just to make sure."
"If you are worried about a small fever or the symptoms that may concern you, the hours are perfect for the working individual."
They're open 5 to 10 pm on weeknights and 9-5 on weekends and holidays.
"We're treating patients with flu, cough, cold, headache, back pain, minor scrapes, sprain and strains."
Medical Director Dr. Melly Goodell says they're helping patients avoid trips to the e-r.
"We certainly hope to help patients avoid being unnecessarily in an emergency room and having long waits there and prioritize for emergency situations so we're happy to be able to provide this service."
"The after hours care is staffed by a rotating team of about 18 physicians specializing in either family medicine or the emergency room, so that means they're all trained to deal with children as well as adults."
"One strength of our system is that we use an electronic medical records that is in operation across the MedStar system."
"This is my daddy."
Right now they're seeing more children than adults......but with fears of the flu running rampant....business can only pick up.
