Health Care Tips

At the height of the summer season, area restaurateurs often tell tales of tourists who pass out at the tables merely because they didn't drink enough water during the day. Remember that alcoholic beverages and drinks with caffeine, such as cola or iced tea, are diuretics and will aggravate dehydration. Make sure to drink plenty of water or juice throughout the day, especially when it s sweltering outside.

Since most of the medical offices on the Outer Banks are urgent-care facilities, you may wish to call ahead for a non-emergency visit to inquire as to how long the wait might be. The receptionist might be able to suggest a less hectic time at which to come in.
