Problem is MinuteClinic is just that, a clinic, it's just a nurse that can do "office treatments" such as vaccines, shots, prescribing blood tests, bandaging wounds, etc. But ultimately anything else has to be referred out.

Prescribing blood tests might already save doctors time. Most of the time when I'm sick the doctor just asks broad questions and takes a blood samples... and I'm told to come back tomorrow when the results are back from the lab.

Right, but that seems to be exactly what the parent comment wants.

Maybe it is different where I am but in my experience, it is always an MD on staff.
