NY Times: What Times Readers Would Change About Their Doctors’ Offices

Here a different wish list item. An easy way to test for strep/flu. If it’s not strep/flu, im happy to wait it out at home. A home test would be fine, and if positive then go to the doctor to repeat, get drugs, etc. But having to go through my above mentioned process just to be tested - spending 1-4 hours waiting and waiting and telling everyone why you’re there, and then having to pay $150 for the process is horrid.

When I was in Myrtle Beach years ago, I once went to the Minute Clinic for something. I loved that. But we don’t have any of those here.

Can you tell younger S texted me this morning thinking he has strep? Argh.
