The authority of a stackexchange thread notwithstanding - ER and urgent care visits are what happens when primary care physicians cannot accept same-day consultations with patients. By all means try to call your primary doctor, but if they can't see you that day I would ask them if the prudent course of action is to seek immediate medical care at the ER or urgent care.
