CVS

Cleary Squared thinks they're wonderful, after getting into one in Porter Square right away to get his ears cleared out of wax:

... It doesn't make sense for people with minor injuries have to wait for care from their PCP, especially on the weekends, or have to shell out a much higher copay at the ER. The "continuum of care" will still be there; it just took the urgency of the situation and the ambition of the patient to take action.

That is why I made the choice to have my earwax situation taken care of now, rather than waiting two weeks for my PCP to do the same thing and have my ears plug up worse. This is why I had to go to Cambridge to do it, and I'd do it again above Mayor Menino's (and my PCP's) objections. ...

Just because there's a "SALE" tag under a bottle of moisturizing lotion doesn't mean the item is actually on sale, Steve Garfield discovers.

Tom Menino: Allowing retailers to make money off of sick people is wrong.

Remember that the next time you head to Rite Aid for some Nyquil.

OK, he said that in the context of how he thinks those planned CVS MinuteClinics will "seriously compromise quality of care and hygiene," but, um, wait, hygiene? People will get covered in soot at the CVS? Focus, Mr. Mayor, focus. Like, maybe, on the city's plan to ban trans fats in restaurants.

Robert David Sullivan vows to boycott the CVS replacing Liquor Land in Roxbury:

... Maybe a supermarket would be better on that site, but a CVS? I'll get my Nyquil fix elsewhere, thank you.
