Ya....I went to one of those when I was dispatching in MEM, and I decided to get a medical there. Two other persons I was working dispatch with said go to 'this dr', and you might as well leave your car running. Sure enough, I was in and out of there in 15 minutes...if that. He was well in his upper 80s..an ex-Air Force flight surgeon with all types of nostgia on the walls. He explained every trick of the trade to pass the medical if there was ever any problem.
