&#8220;It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.&#8221; This is the opening line to the famous novel &#8220;A Tale of Two Cities&#8221; by Charles Dickens, but to many Americans bidding adieu to 2008, it really just feels like the worst of times with no sunshine in sight.

Sometimes you just need to get seen by a doctor, stat. Maybe you aren&#8217;t having an emergency like having a baby or cradling your severed limb in your hands, but things like a sprained ankle or a rapidly rising temperature require some fairly prompt attention.
