Prompt Medical Care: ER or Other Options?
When you require quick restorative care, the main line of exhortation has customarily been, "Go to the closest crisis room." But is that guidance the best game-plan? With visits to the ER at an untouched high, hold up times have soar. Also, crisis room medicines for non-crisis therapeutic conditions add to the increasing expense of our social insurance. So what are other consideration settings, and how would you figure out which is ideal? Emergency Room physician near me
Contrasting options to ER Care
Unless it's a genuine crisis, you'll likely get faster therapeutic consideration at other consideration settings, for example, a pressing consideration focus, retail wellbeing center or stroll in specialist's office. Utilize these choices, where accessible, when you require restorative care rapidly, yet can't see your general specialist. These strategically placed, authorized and licensed consideration settings are staffed with specialists, attendants and doctor's partners. So you'll get quality consideration, and you'll regularly pay significantly less than you would for crisis care. What's more, they're normally open nighttimes, weekends and now and then occasions, and can cost about the same as a specialist visit.
Pressing consideration focus: These centers can generally handle issues that need quick consideration yet aren't life-debilitating or crises, as fastens, sprains and x-beams.Emergency Room physician near me
Retail wellbeing facility: Many significant drug stores and retail locations now have these stroll in centers staffed by therapeutic experts. Go there when you require helpful, routine consideration, as for hacks and influenza shots.
Stroll in specialist's office: No arrangement is required at these workplaces, and you as a rule aren't required to be a current patient. This option is a decent decision when you require basic restorative consideration in a rush, as for gentle asthma or minor unfavorably susceptible responses.
Your wellbeing arrangement may have an every minute of every day medical caretaker line that you can call for help with deciding the seriousness of your side effects and where to go for consideration.

Samsung launches dual-SIM version of the Galaxy Note 3
Samsung has just launched the dual-SIM version of the Galaxy Note 3 phablet. Most of the recent Galaxies received a dual-SIM treatment shortly after release and the Galaxy Note 3 is no exception.
The first country to get the dual-SIM Galaxy Note 3 is China, though the gadget is carrier unlocked and can be exported and used on other countries around the world. You should check, of course, the supported network bands and be careful where you activate the device.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Dual-SIM
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Dual-SIM is also based on the Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 chipset, just like the international N9005 model, which means it is probably LTE-capable as well.
The dual-SIM Galaxy Note 3 costs €735 in Asia, which sounds about right since its international single-SIM models is priced at €700. There is no info on official pricing and availability, nor there is even a press note announcing the dual-SIM version. We expect the device to expand its market reach in the next few months though.
Limited edition Oppo N1 with CyanogenMod gets announced
Oppo announced that it will sell a limited edition of its N1 flagship with CyanogenMod out of the box. The smartphone will be available next month for the same price as the regular N1.
As expected, the CyanogenMod version of the Oppo N1 will support all the device’s features, including its tricked out camera. Furthermore, the device will come with unique retail box (as seen in the photo above) which includes a special case to go with other CyanogenMod specific accessories.
The “regular” Oppo N1 will not be left out of the CyanogenMod party as well. The device will come with the ROM pre-loaded, so users will be able to flash it right out of the box.

Motorola announces Ara, a new modular phone concept
We have seen the ambitions Phonebloks concept in the past. But while the idea was definitely amazing, it was hard not to get cynical about its success, considering it was just guy with an idea trying to get the attention of companies around the world to make it a reality.
But what if one of those companies decided to take the idea and do something about it? Presenting the Motorola Ara, a modular phone concept that might actually become real one day.
Just like with Phonebloks, the Ara will have removable modules that will let you replace or upgrade specific parts of the device. This makes repair and upgrading easy but also lets you customize the phone to your exact needs. You can choose only those modules that are important to you and skimp out on the others.
The Motorola Ara project has been in development for a year now, so it's not something Motorola put together when they saw the Phonebloks video. Motorola will also be working with the creator of the Phonebloks concept Dave Hakkens on the Ara project.
Motorola will soon be sending invites to developers to start working on modules for the Ara and an alpha version of a Module Developer's Kit will be released in winter.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 gets a bug-squashing update
The Snapdragon 800-version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is getting an over-the-air firmware update. It weighs 116MB and should be available to all SIM-free and unlocked N9005 models any moment now.
According to the official changelog the update brings stability improvements plus it turns off the re-activation lock, which requires you to input your Samsung account details after a factory reset of the phone.
Until today, this option was turned on by default and, while it added some extra security, it came as nasty surprise to those that didn't know it existed. If you want to reenable it, you should go to Settings -> General -> Security.
The new update also squashes many known bugs, including those related to the Pebble smartwatch accessory. The Samsung home-baked keyboard has been reskinned, too.
If you happen to have already received the update, drop us a line in the comments section, mentioning how you find your Galaxy Note 3 after it.
Nokia Q3 report shows 8.8 million Lumia sales
Nokia published its financial results for the quarter ending in September – let's have a look at how the company did in its final quarter before selling its legendary phone business.
Sales for Nokia Group decreased 22% year on year €5.662 billion, but operating profit went up to €118 million from a sizable loss of €564 million during the same quarter last year.
Devices & Services – the division that Microsoft is set to acquire in the final quarter this year – accounted for €2.898 billion in net sales, down 19% year on year. The division posted an operating loss of €86 million, peanuts compared to the €672 million loss from last year.
The good news is that most of the declining sales come from the feature phone department, which saw its sales decline 37% compared to last year. This coincides with a 27% drop in shipment volumes.
The Smart devices shipments increased to 8.8 million units (up 40% year on year), beating the early estimates. Smartphone revenue was up 28% to €1.254 billion.
The rest of Nokia Group, which is not part of the Microsoft deal, includes the Nokia Solution Networks (or NSN, which used to stand for Nokia Siemens Networks until recently) and HERE.
NSN saw declining net sales both year on year and quarter on quarter, but this business is almost as big as the phone business – sales were €2.592 billion . It is also doing pretty good with €166 million in operating profit. That's a sixth profitable quarter in a row.
HERE is smaller with €211 million in net sales, but is profitable too, earning €14 million in operating profit. NSN and HERE were hit by weak seasonal demand and are expected to improve in Q4.
A third division, Advanced Technologies, will be started up inside Nokia Group and it will round off the Finns' business divisions after Microsoft acquires the phone business.
The Nokia press release points out that if Microsoft had already acquired the business, the sales for Nokia group would be just €2.9 billion instead of €5.7 billion, but the non-IFRS operating margin would have been 11.5% rather than 3.8%.
This is a subtle way of saying that the phone division was operating at a loss and once that's gone, operating profit for Nokia Group will improve. This combined with the overall results, which exceeded expectations sent the Nokia stock 6.5% up at time of writing.

HTC One Max review: Supersized
Introduction
It's phablet o'clock on HTC's watch and they're shifting gear and changing direction. Done expanding the One portfolio towards the compact end of the spectrum, HTC are going the other way with the aptly named One Max. It builds on a proven formula emphasizing media consumption and looks, while bringing a few welcome new features to the lineup.

The expandable storage deals with one of the chronic liabilities of the One, so you're no longer limited in your selection of videos and songs to enjoy on the excellent speakers and the now even bigger screen. There's also the latest Android release powering the whole thing, coupled with the most up-to-date edition of HTC's proprietary Sense UI.
Key features
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support; 3G with HSPA; LTE
- 5.9" 16M-color 1080p Super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen with 373ppi pixel density

Main disadvantages
- 4MP UltraPixel camera has less than stellar performance in good light
- Non user-replaceable battery
- Poor video and audio codec support out of box
- Fingerprint scanner let down by software support
- Snapdragon 600 chipset is no longer the snappiest around
The choice of Snapdragon 600 over its more capable Snapdragon 800 sibling is bound to raise a few eyebrows, but realistically, the Snapdragon 600 is no slouch either and it has never left an impression of being underpowered. And with the resolution unchanged over the HTC One, there will be no extra strain on the GPU to worry about either.
The HTC One Max at ours
So what we need to find out now is whether the Sense UI 5.5 is as good as HTC touts it to be, and whether the fingerprint scanner can be a key selling point. We already saw an excellent hardware implementation of the feature by Apple in the iPhone 5s, but the software failed to make proper use of it. We now set out to find what HTC did differently and how well it works.
But first thing - first. The HTC One Max is getting a proper physical examination right after the break.
