July 22: Minute Clinic

I admit it. I have been to the Minute Clinic 3 times in my life. All 3 times I was diagnosed with an ear and sinus infection. So, I know they're good at identifying sinusitis and otitis media. But, my wife has never had the same wonderful opportunity. And, recently she's had a bit of a sore throat. So, tonight, with the whole family in tow, I took my wife for her first Minute Clinic experience. My wife's opinion? She was a little uncomfortable with the "closet" (her words, not mine) in which they treat their patients. And, no, they didn't diagnose her with a sinus infection, nor an ear infection. In fact, they didn't diagnose her with anything. They basically sent her away with the old "if it doesn't go away in a few days, you should probably see your regular doctor", Needless to say, my wife will likely not return to the Minute Clinic anytime soon.
