These "Urgent Care Centers" that are popping-up all over the U.S. are collecting several slang terms, the most popular seems to be "doc. in a box" as many of these facilities are free standing structures (boxes) and have either a doctor (doc.) and/or sometimes a "nurse practitioner" who operates under the supervision of a doctor. Another slang term sometimes heard is "band aid station" but that term is most often used as slang for a small rural or regional hospital due to them being (at times) under staffed or equipped for more major procedures. Either one refers to a small medical facility/clinic.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
