They need this in Monroe. That way, you won't have far to go to get treated after you are stabbed in the parking lot.... On another front, how long til there is a movement to force Wal-Mart to perform cheap abortions?

All those unemployed law school grads gotta go somewhere.

$100K in student loan debt, working 30hrs a week at WalMarks. Yeah, I can see that.

On the plus side, soon Morris Bart will be out of business. All his clients are WalMarks shoppers. Dey can get they car wreck case handled for only 10% contingency fee.

I'm pretty sure nurse practitioners can't write any of those scripts

They can if they have a DEA number. All the ones at my work can.

Nurse that basically works like a doctor. Sees patients and can prescribe meds in some cases. You see many of them in urgent cares.


Many NPs have a doctorate in nursing nowadays.

Hmmm ... Wal-Mart Hospital?


Now that is a reassuring thought!
Almost as pleasant a thought as a federal government run health care system.

Well not all of them do. Many just have their masters in nursing. The doctorate thing is a new requirement for them in certain states.

As a pharma rep, I've been hearing about this coming for some time. In addition to Urgent Care Centers, this really should change a lot of things.

BR 2014 - Where were you born? Woman's Hospital?
BR 2024 - Where were you born? Walmarks or Target?

History repeats itself. In 50 years, we will all be "working for the Company Store."

I remember a while back seeing a future walmart model that had a seperate building, next to the Supercenter. I think they called the healthcare block or something. It housed the optometrist, dentist, and primary care physican. It was a block with 3 seperate entrances on each side of the block and the back was used as docs and staff parking

Interesting. As many walmarks stores as there are, it would make sense.
