Facebook fans answer: What do you think about panhandlers?
•You never know someone's story or circumstances. I give whenever I can. What they do with it they have to answer for one day. God knows that I'm giving out of a caring heart. Cat Taylor Dobson
•I will buy them a meal or give them bag with miniature bathroom supplies, but give no money because I don't know what they will buy. I also have talked to some and they don't want help, and choose this lifestyle. It's sad. JasonandTracy McDaniel
•There are many local agencies who can help homeless people. They can get a shower, food, clean clothes, etc. I won't give money to panhandlers. Katherine T. Morrow
Harder to find good doctors
My "current" physician — who I've made a point to not deal with in months (almost a year) — thinks everyone in Crestview is a drug-seeking hypochondriac. I got a lecture about how he wasn't going to give me drugs on my first visit. Which I didn't even ask for.
… There are doctors out there that care, but they are getting harder to find. I would rather go to the ER or CVS minute clinic than go back to my physician, but finding another is really difficult. Especially if you have a lot of medical issues.
