A male patient in his 50s came to the clinic with acute abdominal pain. After careful history and
examination, Dr. Polster diagnosed Acute Diverticulitis. The patient was prescribed antibiotics, blood work and a follow up visit. Patient was instructed to go to ED if the pain increased or he developed other issues. If this patient had gone to the ED initially rather than VIM, he would have received thousand of dollars in diagnostic tests, a similar diagnosis and treatment. When the patient was seen on the follow up visit, his symptoms had resolved and he was appreciative of the care. This situation saved money and resources, a big ED bill and provided the patient with excellent care.

I support VIM SD because I'm confident that they put my dollars to work meeting a basic human need, everyday. I live with severe asthma, and as an athlete, I couldn't imagine not having access to my inhaler.

The VIM San Diego team is doing creative, needed work serving our community, and the need is only growing.
