Potentially emergent health care issues like head injury, motor vehicle accidents, chest pain, difficulty breathing, persistent abdominal pain, and “worst ever” headache are referred to an Emergency Room where they may be more appropriately assessed and treated. A prescription for an antibiotic will not be called in without you being seen by a health care provider in the Student Health Center.
