Default Walmart Health Clinic

Just opened in my town. Should be interesting. I think only a handful of them are open in the US. They brought in the actor Mark Wahlburg and all the women are going nuts in town. We have a large hospital here and other walk-in offices available. Interesting they picked here to open one. Other major hospitals with 30 miles and the ones in Atl. only 70 miles. Just seems to be big competition among all of them.

Wife and I used the minute clinic walk in at CVS before we moved, was always happy with them.
We still go north to daughters to watch grandson so I'll probably still get flu shot there.

We use the CVS minute clinics as our insurance pays zero if we goto ER unless we're admitted, learned that the hard way...

Everything in WalMart is made in China. i'd be scared the doctor is, too, and that I'd catch the Kung Flu if I went there.

In November, I went to see a doctor that was assigned to me when I was in the hospital. No idea where she got her degree, or her status, but she is of dot descent.

The first question she asked me, was I always that color.

I've had a lot of issues with the VA here in Jax and, yes, you can request a being switched to a different doc. The one I had before this quack was great, but she realized should was good enough to make more money at a civilian practice and hauled ass.

Could it be because you're an asshole? Asking for a friend.
