Little Mr-ear-infection got treated and was back to bouncing around with Mickey in short order.

Still it’s good to know where the ERs are. I don’t think a doc-in-a-box is the place for the bee sting that made the hand swell up like the Pillsbury Doughboy or the fall off a rope swing that knocked a kid out.

Parenthood – one series of accidents after another.

Now that was good for a laugh. How badly must a provider mutilate a host of patient, how many patients must they sleep with and how many large scale drug dealing operations must they mimic before the state licensing board even stirs?

The reality of the comment is that provider groups have fewer objections because they get their cut of the pie. Simple economics and simple protectionism of their racket. The closest that we have come to the providers admitting the truth is via the paraphrase of the quote of these clinics “interfering with the traditional practice of medicine.” The Dons must get their cut!

I hope someone will copy this idea in lots of tourist areas. It’s no fun being sick on vacation and trying to stay out of the ER (my insurance company’s initial recommendation).
