Why is Vidant Health merging Inner Banks Urgent Care with my doctor?

 

We need more editorial cartoons, more variety of editorial cartoons. You’re wasting space on this editorial page with Daily Bread and Today’s Meditation. Just think: more editorial cartoons. It’d be nice.

 

I’m calling to protest the closing of the Inner Banks Urgent Care facility. It was so reassuring to know there was somewhere to go to get care without sitting for hours in the emergency room. Very, very disappointing news.

 

I cannot believe that Vidant is closing Inner Banks Urgent Care. That is a big mistake for this area. Where are people going to go when they just have the common cold? They can get into urgent care a lot better than they can get into their doctor’s office. So, I just think this is a terrible mistake.

 

Thanks, Vidant Health, for taking away Inner Banks Urgent Care’s practice. It provided me excellent care the past few years, and it will be greatly missed.

 

If the conservative does not want his taxes to pay for the Aurora ferry because he doesn’t ride it, why should my tax money pay for the roads that he rides on?

 

Instead of using the foreclosure settlement money as outlined in the paper Saturday, why don’t we establish a foundation managed by politically connected folks from around Raleigh to dispense the money via grants to their local friends. You know, just like the Golden LEAF Foundation.
