Wall Street Journal: The public's still pretty wary of the retail clinics cropping up in Wal-Marts and drugstores around the country. But there are enough people comfortable with the clinics to fuel their continued spread. In an online survey that drew roughly 3,000 responses, about 33 percent of people didn't like the idea of retail clinics much at all. On a scale of one to 10, with one being "not at all comfortable" and 10 being "completely comfortable," this group of doubters put themselves at one, two or three. Only 16 percent, on the other hand, put themselves at eight, nine or 10.
