Skin infection
I called because I had a skin infection. I expected perhaps an oral antibiotics prescription, but the provider was clear that I needed to go to the ER to receive IV antibiotics right away. He asked if I had someone who could drive me or if he should send an ambulance to the address on file, leaving no question of the level of severity. I was able to go to the ER immediately, and his diagnosis was spot on. I got an IV and did not require hospitalization, but both my Teledoc provider and my ER doctor advised that waiting could have led to sepsis.
