They are forced to spend three days, bleary-eyed and headachy, until their scheduled appointment with their busy, over-booked primary care physician. They then take time out of their day to attend the appointment with this physician, who, of course, tells them what they already know ' that they have a sinus infection. The physician then gives them the prescription that they have so desperately needed for the last three days. Rather than going through this rather typical scenario, many people have found a new option ' one that provides perceived instant relief to those seeking a quick fix to apparently mundane medical issues.
