Travel Healthy with AeroClinic

Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport has just opened a new retail medical facility, AeroClinic, which will quickly treat walk-ins for a quick $80. That's right: You actually see a physician who'll even write you a quick prescription if you need it.

Interesting, sure, but if you're really not feeling that hot, why would you get on a plane? And who has layovers long enough to sit in a waiting room, paging through back issues of US Weekly? AeroClinic's doctor thinks plenty of folks do:

"We're kind of the stop in between the hospital during your travels."

Sounds like this guy needs a new runnin' crew: All his buddies are always stuck in the hospital. Then again, Stephen Plumlee, who recently popped in to the clinic after a dizzy spell found it quite nice:

This has been good...It's been fine to be able to do it in the airport, and not have to go to some other part of the city and find my way back.

Another AeroClinic is scheduled to open at the airport in Philadelphia this fall. Prognosis? Too early to say.
