Upset about
emergency prices
My 5-year-old granddaughter is here with a fever, crying with pain in her ear and all the other symptoms of the miseries. I call our health care clinic and am informed, we are sorry but we have no appointments for a week and a half. Then I am told I can go to Flagstaff or I can come in and pay for an emergency visit. I take my crying grandchild in and pay the emergency visit price.
A nice lady sitting there tells me she has to pay the emergency visit also as she is too sick to drive to Flagstaff.
It would appear that unless you have a followup appointment you have to go through emergency “urgent care,” and pay a very high price.
This isn’t a broken arm, wound that requires stitches, heart attack or other real emergency.
When did the flu, ear infections or a sliver become an emergency?
This is a small rural community and anywhere else with a family health-care facility available spots are reserved for sick people to be squeezed in, at regular costs.
“Family Practice?” I guess family practice is gone and we’re up town now!

Resident asks for
5 weeks of prayer
Starting Thursday, I want to ask the citizens of Williams to hold five weeks of Thursday prayers ending on the Fourth of July.
Dedicate these days to prayer and fasting.
You can skip one meal or all day whatever is in your heart.
Dedicate 30 minutes to one hour in prayer for three things.
1. Pray for the U.S. that the Lord’s hand is on us giving us favor and forgivness. That the president is giving wisdom from God.
2. Pray for your ministers of your church and your families.
3. Pray for the town of Williams that God will forgive this town for coming against thy neighbor. Stop gossiping, and remember those who judge others will be judged. Pray that the lord of mercy will bring rain to fill up our lakes.
Signed a gimper for God.
