Jan 11, 2007 -- Why not try a nurse-in-a-box!

Have you heard about the new trend in the medical industry, the “nurse-in-a-box?” These are the nurse practitioner “offices” that are popping up in discount stores and pharmacies. Walgreens is the mastermind behind this concept. The store has posted nurses in some of its stores, adjacent to the pharmacy counter. The nurse can write prescriptions and treat patients for much less than a doctor would, and the trend is growing by leaps and bounds. The Chicago Tribune reports that Walgreens is about to add 200 more. There is a list of services offered with the price right next to it in big, bold letters. Clark loves that! There is no waiting and no bureaucracy. Now, if the illness is too extreme, you are sent to a hospital or doctor. But, if you need routine care, it’s a win-win for everyone.

Absolutely, second-hand smoke is dangerous.
No way, that's too totalitarian.
I'm not sure.

Would you pay extra to live in a non-smoking apartment complex?
Yes.
No.
