I think I may have a hematoma on my lower leg. The car door hit it. It is swollen and very red. If i need it drained do you do that at urgent care?

Hematomas and abscesses can be drained if felt to be necessary though many hematomas can be safely monitored without drainage. Those that are too large or in a dangerous area may indeed need to be seen at the ED.

I think they may send you to MGH proper for that.
