Minute Clinic

Last week Karen came down with a sinus infection. She's had a lot of them over the years so she knew exactly what it was. All she needed was a prescription for some antibiotics. Rather than try to get in to see her doctor, and pay several hundred dollars for that privilege, we decided to try the Minute Clinic at CVS. It was only $59 to see a nurse practitioner and get the prescription. All in all a good value, the only problem was that we were there for 2 1/2 hours! "Several Hour Clinic" would have been a more honest name. Ross waited outside (how long can you look around in a CVS?) and read. When sitting on the concrete got too cold he stood. At one point he was leaning against a trash can when a guy who had just left CVS came up to him and asked "how are you doing?" Ross replied "Fine" and then the guy told said "there's a half-way house near here where you can get a bed and they can fix you up with a job." Apparently he thought Ross was homeless! Too funny! The really funny part was that he was playing with his iPhone when the guy approached him. Guess lots of homeless people have iPhones.

"You're Sick...We're Quick!" Not this time you weren't!
