Where do I go for that?
Where do I go for that?
Two summers ago, I was working from home because I was occupied by a project and didn’t want to stop. I had planned to go into the office and have my teen son watch my younger girls . The project on the web kept my attention, so I kept on going and never really stopped to leave. Instead, I just found myself frequently reminding my girls I was busy working and that they could talk to me or show me this or that later.
Then I got the “Mom, you gotta see this!” My response was, “I’m busy! Show me later!” But then my daughter said, “But, Mom, there’s blood all over the place!” Ok!

For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 immediately or go to the nearest hospital Emergency Room (ER). ERs are equipped for severe, sudden, or dangerous symptoms. For non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries that still require immediate attention, go to an Urgent Care clinic to avoid long wait times and high costs. Learn more at Penn Medicine
