> But now he was letting us know about it at 3 am. I got out of bed, drove him to urgent care, picked up some drugs and painkillers, and it was handled.
Wow, in that particular respect he lives in relative paradise. On the San Francisco peninsula, this service does not exist, and as far as I’m aware no level of wealth short of hiring a private doctor will make it appear. There are emergency rooms (some of which are fairly nice as such things go), and San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland appear to have a small number of genuine urgent care clinics. Otherwise… nothing.
Going to the ER for an ear infection is not usually a go-in-and-quickly-handle-it experience.
(Also, wow, the housing in the OP looks awesome at the price point.)
