I've been using the phrase "doc in a box" to refer to the
ubiquitous "Urgent Care Centers" since the early 1980s, when the
first began appearing in Central Indiana.  Just now I used the
phrase while talking with my department chair, who is probably
15-20 years younger than I, and he hadn't heard it before.  How
widely is it used?
