Gas Station Urgent Cares? And You Thought I Was Kidding with Better Call Paul?

I have been called Nostradougus for a reason. I have successfully predicted Scrotox, doctors falsifying data, the quality metric scam, the NP Trojan Horse, and on and on. Here comes another one.

Recently, I did this video:

A used car lot with a medical clinic? Yup.

Now Medwise, an urgent care clinic company, is combing with a gas station.

But Horwitz said the more she thought about it, the more she saw an overlap between the business models of QuikTrip and of successful urgent care clinics: setting up in easy-to-find locations, catering to walk-ins, and accepting multiple payment methods, for example. QuikTrip opening health clinics might just make sense, she thought, provided they could deliver quality medical care.

Ok, to be fair, the gas station company does own the urgent care clinics but has not combined them yet. Give it time. “It’s brilliant!!”, as Paul would say.
