ENGLEWOOD — Donald Hilton waited a long time before he was able to see a doctor at the Charlotte County Health Department’s Englewood clinic on San Casa Drive.
On Wednesday, the Englewood man turned up for his 1 p.m. appointment just as he was instructed, only to be told by staff there was no doctor available to see him. If he wanted to see a doctor, he was told, he would have to go to the health department’s Port Charlotte office some 20 miles away.
