Lifechangers: 3 Ways to Stay Healthy Without an Appointment
"Extra" Lifechanger and Walgreens pharmacist Darshana Patel recommends three important steps to stay healthy without seeing a doctor.

Patel said, "Right now there's a pandemic for whooping cough. In 2010 there have been 21,000 cases, and they do recommend immunization for children who are entering 7th grade through 12th."
#2 Pay Attention to a Noisy Sleeper
"It's linked diabetes, heart failure and stroke," explained Patel.
# 3 Get Screened by a Pharmacist!
