Doctor info in WDW

[pcnine28]

Call me a hypochondriac, but DD is always catching something or other.
I have enough first aid and meds packed for a small pharmacy - but 'Just In Case', I would like to have contact details or know what to do if she is actually in need of a doc over there.
We will be staying on-site at WDW, would I just call the front desk? I have heard that sometimes a doc will come to you rather than having to wait at one of the drop in centres?
We obviously have full insurance and we'll have a car. I am of course keeping all fingers and toes crossed that I will not have to use this info, but I did once end up in Celebration ER myself when I was pregnant!
Thanks guys x

If there's an issue, ring your insurer first (unless an extreme emergency, then just go to the ER), as they may want you to go to a certain clinic/location as they typically have Global links/deals with some clinics.

Indeed your insurance company if the first port of call, they often have specific places you need to go .

First though its worth popping to the pharmacy. Unlike the UK pharmacys are used far more widely over there as Drs cost money. There are far more meds available from the pharmacy in the US than in the UK so its worth going there first.

Can you get antibiotics for something like tonsilitis at a pharmacy, just curious cos DS often gets it.

Pharmacists cannot supply antibiotics without a prescription. They often have onsite clinics where you can see a Nurse Practioner or Physician's Assistant who can prescribe for minor ailments but you have to pay for the visit. Much cheaper than seeing a Doctor somewhere like Centra Care though.
