To be checked out by a wellness-geek (with no degree) and pushing vitamins or band-aides?
Good old common sense.
CVS?!!? Wait times?
I tried their minute clinic. They’re not sure what a minute is. And their pharmacy? Forget about it. 1970 computers.
But that’s here.
I wish it the best as at least they are trying something. :)
I keep hearing about these mini clinics, but have yet to see one.
It appears the VA Choice program (where a vet can use his own doctor downtown) is being extended pending a more permanent legislation.
I’m hoping this more permanent legislation includes being allowed to use our own pharmacies downtown.
Trump will follow through on his VA overhaul promise, and it appears to be in the works. The final language and when it is all passed and signed into law is yet another issue.
I have faith.
Free Market Solution!!!! Awesome!!!
swamp creatures are concerned...communists are deeply saddened...
Nooooo Not CVS for anything!
This is a late April Fools joke, right?
I dropped CVS as my pharmacy because it took 3 days and a missed dental appointment to fill a simple Amoxicillin antibiotic prescription. I have to take it 1 hour before my dental appointments because I have an implant.
Privatize the VA.
I tried Minute Clinic a few times, but never again. Twice they prescribed the wrong antibiotic (and I mean completely wrong) so the symptoms and suffering continued and when I went back, they sent me to my primary care doc.
When it happened the first time, I thought it must have just been a fluke and gave them the benefit of the doubt. When it happened again (for a different ailment), I knew I wouldn’t be back.
They are not doctors, and they just look on the computer to see what to prescribe. Not recommended, unless you just need a flu shot.
As a veteran at about Tier 5 on the priority scale, I’ve never used a VA facility. However, I dont understand why the VA just doesnt incorprate VA care into either TRICARE or Medicare. Im sure its not that simole, yet again, it shouldnt be that hard either.
