Velo
Club La Grange is
proud to be sponsored
by West L.A. Industrial & Urgent Care.
As
part of his sponsorship of Velo Club La Grange, Doctor Richard
Hyman is offering:
Treatment
of minor cuts, bruises,
laceration and orthopedic injuries.
Flu Shots and other general medical services
West
Los Angeles Industrial and Urgent Care
sees regular patients and job related injuries. They are in all
of the Workers Compensation Medical Provider Networks including
State Fund. It can also be your company’s medical provider
for on the job injuries.
When
the son of a Velo Club La Grange member needed to be seen right
away by an orthopedist on Friday afternoon of the Labor Day weekend,
they were able to arrange for this. If your regular doctor cannot
see you in a timely fashion, they probably can and will get your
care started. Most health plans would prefer that you go to an
Urgent Care rather than the ER as it is cheaper for them
and you. Not to mention, you will avoid the long wait. If you
do have to go to the ER, they can also do your follow up or specialty
referral instead of being told to find a doctor or follow up with
your own doctor who may not have an available appointment.
If
you are injured in a race out of town, they can do the follow
up on your road rash, remove your sutures or do the needed subsequent
visits for your fractured clavicle by one of their orthopedists.
If you have a crash locally or burn, cut or injure yourself in
any way, they are a much better option than going to the emergency
room if your own physician cannot see you in a timely fashion.
The
Physician Assistants have been trained at UCLA and St. Joseph’s
Hospital ER in Burbank. They do some of the acute care for the
Fox Studios and follow up care for UCLA injured workers.
Family
members are welcome and many young West Los Angeles professionals
who have recently relocated to this area use it for common maladies
such as respiratory or urinary tract infections if they do not
as yet have a local doctor. It is the easiest way to get a blood
test, flu shot, hepatitis or other immunization or a TB test.
They are time and cost efficient.
Flu
Shots almost for free!
West
LA Urgent Care is offering as a service to the club members flu
shots at $5 dollars above our cost which is $16 dollars total.
They
are suggested for anyone over 50 or who have heart, respiratory
disease or anyone with impaired immunity. Those of you who train
hard either have marginal or impaired immunity and some of our
members always seem to lose time from racing during the winter
or spring with bad upper respiratory infections. Younger racers
training hard should therefore consider getting one.
On
the subject of shots, how many of you have had a tetanus shot
in the last 7-10 years? With all the crashing and road rash, this
must be kept up to date. For either or both of these, you can
stop by our office which is just a few blocks from Peet's on your
way back from a morning ride.

Because
of what the club has meant to him personally, and because of what
it does for racing and community advocacy, Dr Richard Hyman is
a sponsor for the next several years.
Los
Angeles Cardiovascular Consultants is Dr. Hyman’s private
Cardiology practice. It provides our members with the no out-of-pocket
cost Cardiac Screening
Program, while several Club members have seen the doctor
as regular patients.
He
also is the Medical Director of Medical Industrial Evaluators,
a multispecialty
group that performs medical legal evaluations. This includes Workers
Compensation, L&H, civil, malpractice and liability. His doctors
are available for record review, examinations and expert testimony.
Specialties
included are: Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology,
Hematology, Oncology, Allergy, Neurology, Psychiatry, Dermatology,
Ophthalmology, Toxicology, Orthopedics, General and Vascular Surgery.
The doctors also participate and are often on site to see patients
immediately for The Urgent Care Facility.
MedX
Drug and Alcohol Testing provides services to employers and
individuals. It is a collection site for pre-employment physicals
and Department of Transportation examinations. They also sell
tests that can be used as a dip stick to screen urine for substances
of abuse. Some parents need to use these to help their children
remain drug-free. They also can be used on an industrial basis
by HR as part of pre-employment physicals and after on the job
injuries. DNA testing is also performed for paternity and immigration
issues.
MD
Clinical Trials does Drug Company sponsored research. It may
make a drug not yet released available to you. Sometimes existing
drugs are compared. Participation in a study is usually very well
reimbursed as well as getting the medication for free. A current
study relates to the psychological effects of medications given
for Hepatitis C. If this applies to anyone in the club, please
contact the office.
