This nurse didn’t seem very busy during her shift:
On a recent Friday night, Nurse Practitioner Linda Tylka was sitting at her desk inside her Wal-Mart clinic waiting for someone to come along with a problem. She said she typically treats about 10 to 15 patients a day during her long shifts. The clinic has the same hours as the Wal-Mart pharmacy, but so far, the idea of a Wal-Mart doctor hasn’t caught on as quickly as $4 coffee.
I would be curious to see what happens to these clinics once a few well-publicized malpractice cases start coming in.
