In this segment, the speaker—likely a clinician—describes a model where the clinic purchases medications at wholesale prices and dispenses them directly to patients at the point of care. By providing the prescribed antibiotic immediately, patients avoid delays, stock shortages, and insurance coverage hurdles that often occur at pharmacies. The speaker highlights that a week’s supply of a typical antibiotic can be obtained for about $7–8, illustrating the cost‑saving potential of this approach, and notes that some medicines can be considerably more expensive.
