1. I went to my friend T's house and we tried going to a clinic. Yes, tried. When we got to the first one, there was a sign in the front window that read: Yes, we are Open. But they were not. There are 8 x 10 signs in the side windows facing the parking lot that says the clinic hours are Thursdays 9 AM - 1:00 PM.
So we headed for another I knew used to exist near where I used to work, but I warned him that for all I knew it was no longer there. It was still there. We went in, he signed in. Then discovered that without insurance it cost $80 cash. He did not really have that much to spare.
He knew of another, but only that it was "somewhere on Van Born Road" that M had told him about. He had the exact address...on a note pad at home. He tried contacting M for the info again, except she was at work and had said previously that she is not really allowed to use her cell phone except on breaks.
We never found the place. We went back to his apartment. I located & called a couple more places. One also charges $80. Another charges "$50 to 75" but does not take walk-ins because the Dr. isn't there every day.
T said he will consider his options and also call the one on Van Born Road to find out what they charge and their exact location.
2. Tomorrow I go to a meeting for the
48 Hour Film Project. I hope there is something more I can do other than PA, but, of course I will take that, too.
