Walmarting health
Wal-Mart plans to open about 2,000 in-store clinics by 2012. Maybe you don't, but when I go shopping, I fall for the prominently displayed items. And many ED visits are "convenience" driven (because they happened to be in the area, or brought a relative or neighbor, and just figured they would get checked out). How many more unnecessary visits will be generated by these convenience clinics, to the detriment of our health?
