JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Attention Wal-Mart shoppers: The doctor is in.

Solantic, an urgent care company based in Jacksonville, has struck a deal with the world's largest retailer to locate walk-in clinics in two of its stores in Florida.

Each center has a board-certified physician on duty and is open on holidays and weekends -- the same hours as Wal-Mart is open.

Solantic said the flexible hours will make it easier for people who rarely see a doctor to do so without going to an emergency room.

In addition, the days of cooling your heels in a waiting room are over. Solantic said after you check in, you can go out and shop in the store and you'll be paged or called on your cell phone when it's time for your appointment.

Solantic said if the Florida experiment is successful, the concept could be taken nationwide.

4. If you've spend all your money waiting and shopping,

how can you afford the doctor? Bet me, if you don't have HC insurance, you pay cash. But, ooops, you just spent it on juice and baby aspirin cus little Ricky is spiking a fever. I'd like to see their price list for services.
