POLL: College students, rate you university's health services! *Update!

[Schadenfreude]

I go in today for my checkup, and I also hurt my leg pretty bad - I know what the problem is, and a lot of people I've worked out with know what it is as well, as it's a common injury in martial arts, and I go there to see they can specify a little more (it's a torn hamstring, BTW):

The fuggin' lady tells me that it's a PULLED MUSCLE. :|:|:|

Says to stretch it out and even offers to give me drugs if I want (of course I decline). I know what a pulled muscle feels like, and this ain't no damn pulled muscle.

I should've knwon better - all the people I talked to tell me that I'm better off not going there at all, as it's a notorious place for misdiagnosing problems . . .. Gah.

So, back to topic, I suppose, but how's your schools' health services rate?

UPDATE:

I haven't really noticed this, but when I look at where I hurt my leg (on the back of my thigh, on the inside) - I notice several BLACK bruises. Pulled muscles do this? I don't think so . . . :|:|:|

I really, really don't want to go there again - any ideas?

health service is pretty damn good at my school. i fractured my foot and they had me up and goin in a month

 

[notfred]

I have no idea, never used them. You should add that option.

Have an option like "No clue. Have own health plan." or something.. My school has health services, but I'm leeching off my parents' HMO so I don't have to pay for the school's..

My school's is very good, as there is a hospital across the street, and they have it set up so that all students get free healthcare from the hospital.

Yeah - my school does that too, at least.

 

[pyonir]

I never used them.

 

[PatboyX]

well, when i was in school...they were awesome. but not if you needed help just if you wanted pills.

Wait a minute! Colleges have "health services" like nurses and doctors and such. I know mine didn't have anything of the sort. No wonder tuition is so damn expensive.

Never been to any of them myself, but a few friends had to go and they got patched up pretty quickly.

My health center makes you fill out forms and make you wait at least 30 min before you can get a small band-aid to put over your little cut.

 

[Schadenfreude]

How come the majority of you have not been to the health center? What are you, some kind of uber-dorks who do not, nay, cannot be damdaged (or do you guys sit in fromt of the PC all day? 😛😛😛)?!

Why oh why do you people vote for the "dumbass" option?! And why oh why do I bitch about it if I put that option up on the poll?!

 

[Sid59]

can't vote yet. went into the other day and the doctor was funny and helpful. Thus far, it's awesome.

 

[GoSharks]

havent needed to go in during the week that i've been here, but i would assume that the #1 med school in the country would have some decent med care for its undergrads... 😵

 

[KingNothing]

Most I've ever gotten from SHS here is a measles shot. They did that well, I suppose. 😀
