I went to AfterOurs in LoDo -- despite reading the bad reviews -- because I skinned my knee like a 6-year-old and now it's infected.
Dr. Bright took one look at me and said, ""Do you have diabetes?"" I said no. But this was not sufficient, because every skinned knee requires Dr. House sensitivity and diagnostic brilliance.
""Have you been checked for diabetes?"" I don't know. (He rolls his eyes.) ""You really should be checked for diabetes. Do you know the percentage of overweight people in this country with diabetes?""
I asked him if he asks his thin patients whether they're anorexic. ""If they're extremely thin, I do, actually.""
I came in for a scraped knee. You're an urgent care doc. I have no symptoms of diabetes, other than what you clearly find to be an offensive amount of body mass.
Pros: Short wait
Cons: Doctor spoke far beyond his ken
