Hit or MIss - Walmart Doctors Visit

The weekend of November 18 I went to the Hard Rock Casino for a MMA event.  Yes, I said MMA - Mixed Martial Arts.  My husband actually got me into this sport and I love it.  Hopefully he will get into it more like he has always wanted.  Moving along.  First, all but ONE of the casinos in the Biloxi/Gulfport area are smoking casinos.  YUCK.  I felt myself getting sick the entire time we were waiting to go into the main event area (there is NO smoking in the event room).

Next day, I woke up and my throat was hurting and my chest was chock full of phlegm. It wasn't good.  I got so bad that I had to go to the hospital.  I went, by myself to Gulfport Memorial - *smirk.  I sat there for 2 hours before I finally got up and slowly trekked my way back to my car.  I have never sat in the ER for 2 hours with wheezing and nasty phlegm and not at least get a breathing treatment.  I got nothing.

I did try to deal with the asthma and just happened to be in Walmart of all places - the retail devil that they are.  They have "The Clinic at Walmart", sponsored by of course by Gulfport Memorial Hospital. 

I was in and out of there in less than an HOUR.  What?  Not only can you get food, clothing, electronics, home products BUT wait there's more - HEALTHCARE!

The best time to go is at the end of the day or first thing in the morning.  I happened to be there at the end of the day.  No one was there which got me out of there quicker.  Needless to say, I got my meds, shot in my spot and some steroids - at Walmart - at an affordable price.

So the verdict?  It's a southern HIT in my book.  Would you visit a The Walmart Clinic?
