I live in the Ohio Valley area and the biggest problem we run into is seasonal allergies. That doesn't sound so bad as its just a stuffy nose at first, however after a couple of weeks it turns into a nasty sinus infection. Getting an antibiotic through a traditional Dr. can take many days (or even weeks). Going to the "after-care" is inconvenient and can take hours.
If I could pop into WalMart when I feel this coming on, I would do it in a heartbeat! Especially if it meant that I didn't have to do all the insurance stuff. Even better if the whole visit costs the same as my insurance co-pay ($30)!
- wccrawford 7y agoI'm pretty sure there's been a few times in the last few years that my wife has called up a doctor on the phone and gotten a prescription for her sinus infection, and then just went to Target and filled it. She didn't have to physically see a doctor. I'm also pretty sure it was a service that her health care provided, so you should ask your health care provider if they have something similar.
