ER/URGENT CARE
Uptown Emergency Room
3607 Oak Lawn Ave. • 214-217-1818 • UptownERDallas.com.
We all have medical emergencies that fall outside our primary care physicians’ normal office hours, and making a split decision about where to get help can be stressful. But our fine readers have taken some of the guesswork out of that high-pressure decision, recommending Uptown ER. More than just a walk-up doc-in-a-box, Uptown is a total freestanding emergency room, staffed by medical doctors and support personnel that can attend to virtually every necessity without the inconvenience (or usually wait time!) of a hospital ER — all kinds of imaging, defibrillation, pharmacy services and more, including admitting privileges to local hospitals while accepting most insurance. Best of all? It’s available 24/7/365.

GYM
LA Fitness
2690 N. Haskell Ave. (and other locations) • LAFitness.com.
For some in the queer community, gym = church. Minus the obvious snarks of cruising the hotties and steam room tales, this is where the gays get stronger … and not only physically. We all like to look at the hardbods and think whatever, but with its proximity to the gayborhood, LA Fitness — offering one-stop shopping with racquetball and basketball courts, an indoor pool, spa and juice bar — has not only helped people maintain their abs, it’s helped folks find their own confidence in themselves — and what’s more sexy than that?
