Yikes, that looks really, really bad. Burns….yow.
Re. health care, check out MinuteClinic. It was founded by a guy who needed a new antibiotic prescription for his daughter’s earache. Since he had to go to his doctor’s office it ended up being about three hours plus $150 in various copays and med charges, etc. to get it taken care of, and a few years later he founded a chain of fast, cheap clinics. You go and see a nurse practitioner and it costs you a set amount. Not the same as urgent care, but would have been nice in my uninsured days when I caught a wicked throat bug and spent $150 to see a doctor. MC was bought by CVS last year, and they plan to expand it dramatically in the next three years. Currently I think there are a couple hundred.
