They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I would never use a hotel room in town.
Kinda depends on the town. I actually have a longish list of SF hotels that look utterly gorgeous and quirky and fun that I'd love to steal off to with Hec for a seekrit weekend.

I would never use a hotel room in town. I don't see the point, unless you're escaping your children.
I think that we have a different perspective as single people. If I had a honey, I would be far more inclined to enjoy that kind of present, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, with the airline gift certificate I might feel obligated to use it for a flight I would have taken anyway so, while it would be nice to save the money, it wouldn't be much of a treat.
I agree with that totally.
bon, you need to see a doctor. No matter how you accomplish that, you shouldn't feel stupid.
What she said. I went to a walk-in clinic at Mt Sinai a few times that was just all right, but not ER prices, either. Not that you want to go all the way up there, but I bet St. Vincent's or someone has an urgent care non-ER kind of place you can call and go right into.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Maybe a hotel gift cert for a chain? And tell him the idea is for him to use it in town, but then he has the option to use it out of town as well?
I really, really like this idea.
bon bon, emergency care works well. And the wait times are a lot less than ER, at least around here.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
St. Vincent's has an 800 number you can call to get a doctor referral: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been to urgent care once or twice, and yeah, if you don't have a doc you can get a random doctor to x-ray you and give you a prognosis. I agree with all the recs.
I'd use a hotel in town, even by myself. Sometimes I don't want to be the one with any responsibility.

I'm single and I would totally stay in a hotel in town by myself. If I had $500 to burn. So I'd love that as a gift. Hotel stuff is so nice! The sheets that someone else washes and the towels you can leave on the floor! Not to mention room service.

Thrive to spite them
I joined Facebook last night and reconnected with an old boyfriend. I tentatively sent him a message and he sent me one back saying he regreted losing touch with me. (this would be an ex boyfriend I ended on good terms with).
