You could have named your bank "The Bank of Buprenorphine", headquartered on Suboxone Boulevard in River City, USA, a for-profit subsidiary of The Brotherhood of Tender Mercies ... and you could have run a promotion advertising, "Help fight the rampant pandemic of individual free will - step right up for your free Naloxone Challenge today!"

They moved to a different location. But the whole bank branch was there, including the safe and the drive-through window.Didn't work out, but I was oh so tempted. I coulda had a doctor's office with a drive-through window. Looking at space for my office, one time I looked at a bank branch that had closed. They moved to a different location.

Then interested visitors, or even curious strangers could drive up, just like at the bank and toot and wave. How convenient.

And what about the gas used up waiting in a drive thru? I don't like the idea. A better option would be to briefly check out people as they come in, and put those contagious in a seperate waiting room. This is assuming a patient is well enough to drive.
