Spanish term or phrase: ingreso a guardia
This is from a long hospital report I'm translating about an 80 year old woman who has had knee replacement surgery.

The title of the report is 'ingreso a guardia'. It looks like she's been having abdominal pain.

I know ingreso is 'admission' but my brain isn't working right now to get the right translation for the rest.

Thanks

if it's not an emergency and you need treatment, you go to the walk-in option

A Walk-In Clinic (also known as a Walk-In Centre) describes a very broad category of medical facilities loosely defined as those that accept patients on a walk-in basis and with no appointment required.

I live in Argentina and if I have a sudden medical situation that needs attention I go to the guardia and they look after me without a previous appointment

anyway, I know the way this is going to go so
