She said:” We are equipped to do emergencies and provide life sustaining care: patient believe they have a heart attack, they come to us, we check them and if necessary call the Ambulance and the paramedics to go to a hospital. The Advocate asked about the short hours of 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, what then about emergencies before or after. Yes, she said we are not trying to be a hospital, we want the locals to be our patients for every day care. We are here for them. The Advocate asked about Medical Marijuana, since we have now a big Marijuana facility in town. She said “You can get prescriptions online from a Doctor, but our company is Federally funded so we cannot prescribe it ourselves” even in Nevada since for the Federal Government it is still unlawful.
