Doc-In-The-Box?

An Orland Park doctor has announced plans to open up a new office, but this one with "drive-up bays." Dr. Waldemar Nowak and his wife will convert the former Vito & Nick's restaurant into the new office. Said Nowak, "This is my own idea," though he declined to say exactly what these drive-up service windows would involve. (It's hard for the ol' "turn-your-head-and-cough" routine from the driver's seat, isn't it?) The new office will also feature traditional walk-in medical appointments, too. The Orland Park Village Board's development services committee has approved the plans but the Board itself must also give its okay. We're hoping Dr. Nowak's plans include some type of limits to what can and can't be taken care of via these planned drive-thru windows because there's nothing at all worrisome about having a doctor diagnose us from a drive-thru window. Nope. Not at all.
