ER Direct services locations in the North Oakland and the greater San Francisco Bay area. House calls outside these areas may require an additional fee.
ER Direct, founded with the mission of cutting down on unnecessary waiting lines in emergency rooms, dispatches licensed physicians and physician assistants with a minimum of three years of emergency-room experience to meet patients on their own turf. Urgent-care visits treat a range of non-life-threatening conditions that require immediate medical attention, such as broken bones and lacerations, or typical house-call conditions including flu symptoms and migraines. Patients who opt for an in-home general physical undergo a blood test to determine kidney function, blood count, and electrolyte levels, as well as a traditional health screening to reveal blood pressure, oxygenation levels, and secret crushes hidden deep inside the heart. Visiting physicians can write and fill most prescriptions, and typically arrive within one–two hours of a patient's call. Patients can also schedule an appointment for a convenient date and time between the operating hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.

The Groupon Guide to Everyman’s Classics: Animal Farm
Everyman should enjoy classic literature, which is why the Groupon Guide invented the Everyman's Classics study-guide series. This installment covers:
Animal Farm: Chapter V
Summary: All right, so at this point the animals have been running Animal Farm for a while. This one horse, Mollie, gets treats and pets and ribbons from a neighbor farmer who is a man (not an animal), so she leaves to work on his farm instead of Animal Farm.
Meanwhile, the rest of the hilarious talking animals are arguing about whether they should build a windmill like Snowball the pig says or to not do that like Napoleon the pig says (note: Napoleon is also the name of an important man from France). So they argue and stuff and the animals seem like they want the windmill. But then Napoleon calls in all these dogs he’s been secretly raising and they come in and are big and scary and the animals are scared even though I’m pretty sure a horse could beat a dog in fights. The dogs chase away Snowball and Napoleon is like, “Basically, I’m in charge now and communism is flawed.”
The pigs explain to the animals that it is good that Napoleon is in charge and not bad and also Snowball was a bad pig. The horse named Boxer who always says “I will work harder” also starts saying “Napoleon is always right.” The animals continue to work because that is how they get food and the dogs are scary (even though, seriously, horses are strong [also donkeys can kick pretty hard]).
Analysis: Having recently discovered that there is no symbolism in this book, scholars agree that this chapter is particularly unsymbolic. It is well documented that walking, talking animals fall under Jungian archetypes of “the priceless” and “the adorable.” Scholars also agree that they are more excited for the later chapters when the pigs wear top hats and other human clothes.
Important Quote: “Nine enormous dogs wearing brass-studded collars came bounding into the barn. The animals cowered in fear and did not have an all-out, no-limits brawl with the dogs even though this would have been awesome and worthy of being put on a video website if such a thing ever exists.”
