           By  virtue of the Merger, on the Effective Date,  each

          1.3  Rights of CHC's Stockholders Pending and Upon Surrender
of  Certificates.   From and after the Effective Date, except  as
provided in the Mississippi Business Corporation Act with respect
to   rights  of  dissenting  stockholders,  each  holder   of   a
certificate  representing shares of CHC  Common  Stock  shall  be
entitled, upon surrender thereof to the Surviving Corporation, to
receive  in  exchange therefor the consideration  to  which  such
holder  would otherwise be entitled on the basis provided for  in
1.2(b) of this Agreement.
     
           1.4   Exchange of Certificates  On the Effective Date,
the  holders of certificates for shares of CHC Stock  and/or  CHC

Each  holder  of a stock certificate or certificates representing

the  case may be, immediately prior to the Effective Date  shall,
upon  surrender  of  such  certificate  or  certificates  to  the
Surviving  Corporation after the Effective Date, be  entitled  to

CHC Common Stock or CHC Preferred Stock, as the case may be, have
been  converted as provided by  1.2(b), (i) and (ii)  above  plus
the  accompanying cash component with respect thereto as provided
therein.   Until  so  surrendered, each stock certificate  which,
prior  to  the Effective Date, represented shares of  CHC  Common
Stock or CHC Preferred Stock, as the case may be, shall be deemed
for all purposes to evidence ownership of the number of shares of
Rx  Preferred  Stock into which those shares of CHC Common  Stock
and CHC Preferred Stock have been converted.

any  shares  of  CHC Common Stock and CHC Preferred  Stock  shall
thereafter be registered on the transfer books.

           1.6   Transfer  of Certificates.  If  any  certificate
representing Rx Preferred Stock is to be issued in a  name  other
than  that in which the certificate theretofore representing  CHC
Common  Stock  or  CHC  Preferred Stock,  as  the  case  may  be,
surrendered  is  registered, it shall  be  a  condition  of  such
issuance  that the certificate so surrendered shall  be  properly
endorsed  or otherwise in proper form for transfer and  that  the
person requesting such issuance shall either pay to the Surviving
Corporation  or its transfer agents any transfer or  other  taxes
required  by  reason of the issuance of certificates representing
Rx  Preferred  Stock in a name other than that of the  registered
holder                           of                           the
<PAGE>
     
        certificate    surrendered,   or   establish    to    the
satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation or its transfer  agents
that such tax has been paid or is not applicable

          1.7  Other Transactions at the Closing.

          (a)   Simultaneously with the Closing, Rx Medical shall

          purchase CHC Common Stock shall receive (i) 155.25 shares of Rx
          Preferred Stock for each share of CHC Common Stock purchasable
          upon exercise of the option (the "Option Shares") plus (ii) the
          number of shares of Rx Common Stock equal to the quotient
          obtained by (x) dividing the Market Value of Rx Common Stock into

          of  $100,000  in connection with services  rendered  in
          connection  therewith.  Said fee shall become  due  and

pursuant  to  such provisions.  CHC shall not,  except  with  the
prior written consent of Rx Medical, voluntarily make any payment
with  respect to or settle or offer to settle any demand for such

being  conducted, to enter into this Agreement, and to consummate
the  transactions contemplated hereby.  CHC is duly qualified  to
do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the  character of the properties owned or leased  by  it  or  the
nature  of the business transacted by it makes such qualification
necessary.

          2.2  Capitalization of CHC. The authorized capital stock of
CHC consists of 10,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock, and
1,500  shares of $100 par value preferred stock, of which  as  of
the  date  hereof,  5,530 shares of CHC Common  Stock  and  1,500
shares  of CHC Preferred Stock have been duly authorized  by  all
necessary corporate action on the part of CHC, are validly issued
and  outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.   No  assessments
have  been  made with respect to such stock which have  not  been
fully  satisfied.   Except as set forth in Exhibit  2.2   of  the
Exhibit  Volume, there are no other authorized or outstanding  or
authorized  equity  securities of  CHC  of  any  class,  kind  or
character, and there are no outstanding rights, contracts, rights
to  subscribe,  conversion  rights,  exchange  rights,  warrants,
options,  calls, puts or other agreements or commitments  of  any
character  relating to the capital stock of CHC or any securities
convertible  or  exchangeable or exercisable for  any  shares  of
stock  of any class of capital stock of CHC.  CHC has no treasury
stock  that has not been canceled as of the date hereof.   Except
for  the  transactions contemplated by this Agreement, there  are
not  any  agreements  or understandings among CHC's  stockholders
with  respect  to the voting of shares of the CHC  Stock  on  any
matter.   No shares of the capital stock of CHC are reserved  for
any  purpose;  there  are no preemptive or  similar  rights  with
respect to the issuance, sale or other transfer (whether present,
past  or  future) of the capital stock of CHC and  there  are  no
agreements  or other obligations (contingent or otherwise)  which
may                                                       require
<PAGE>
     
           CHC  to  issue,  repurchase or otherwise  acquire  any
shares  of its capital stock or any other securities.  There  are
no  outstanding or authorized stock appreciation/phantom stock or
similar  rights with respect to CHC. There are no voting  trusts,
proxies,  or any other agreements or understandings with  respect
to the voting stock of CHC.

          2.3  Subsidiaries, Affiliates, Affiliated Companies and
Joint  Venture.  CHC has no direct or indirect ownership interest
in,  by  way  of  stock ownership or otherwise, any  corporation,
association  or  business enterprise except  for  the  subsidiary
company  or  companies  listed in Exhibit  2.3A  of  the  Exhibit
Volume,  all  of  which  are wholly-owned  subsidiaries  of  CHC.
Exhibit 2.3A shall also set forth the authorized capital stock of
each  such subsidiary corporation, the number of shares  of  such
capital  stock validly issued and outstanding and the  number  of
such  shares owned by CHC.  Each of the organizations  listed  in
Exhibit  2.3A and identified therein as a consolidated subsidiary
(CHC's  "subsidiaries") is a corporation duly organized,  validly
existing  and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction
of  incorporation, as listed in Exhibit 2.3A, has full  corporate
power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and  to
carry  on its business as and where it is now conducted, is  duly
qualified  to  do  business  and is  in  good  standing  in  each
jurisdiction  in which the character of the properties  owned  or
leased by it or the nature of the business transacted by it  make
such qualification necessary, and is qualified to do business  in
the jurisdictions listed in Exhibit 2.3A.  Copies of the Articles
of  Incorporation and by-laws of each CHC subsidiary are included
as  Exhibit 2.3B of the Exhibit Volume and are true, accurate and
complete  as  of the date hereof.  CHC owns beneficially  and  of
record all shares of capital stock of any CHC subsidiary which is
set  forth  as  being owned by CHC in Exhibit  2.3A  (except  for
directors'  qualifying shares), free and  clear  of  all  claims,
liens,  charges  and encumbrances of any nature  whatsoever,  and
none  of  such  shares  are  subject to  any  covenant  or  other
contractual  restriction  preventing or  limiting  the  right  to
transfer such shares.  There are not any agreements or understand
ings  to  which CHC or any CHC subsidiary is a party with respect
to  the  voting of shares of capital stock of any CHC subsidiary;
and  neither CHC nor any of its subsidiaries has outstanding  any
options,  calls,  rights of conversion or  other  commitments  to
purchase or sell any authorized or issued shares of capital stock
of any CHC subsidiary.

           2.4  Financial Statements.  Exhibit 2.4 of the Exhibit
Volume  consists  of the following financial statements  of  CHC:
consolidated  balance  sheet  of  CHC  and  its  subsidiaries  at
February  28,  1994,  and the related consolidated  statement  of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flow for the years then
ended,  together with the opinion thereon of Overcash,  Walker  &
Co., certified public accountants; and the unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of CHC and its subsidiaries as of February 28, 1995
and unaudited consolidated statement of operations of CHC and its
subsidiaries  for the twelve months then ended (the  audited  and
unaudited financial statements and the related notes being herein
called "CHC Financial Statements").


<PAGE>

                The  CHC  Financial Statements have been prepared
based upon information contained in the books and records of  CHC
and  its  subsidiaries and present fairly the assets, liabilities
and  financial condition of CHC and its subsidiaries  as  at  the
respective dates thereof and the results of their operations  for
the  periods ended at the respective dates thereof, in each  case
prepared   in  conformity  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles applied on a consisitent basis throughout the  periods
involved and with the prior periods, except that in the unaudited
portion  of the CHC Financial Statements (i) are subject to  cost
report  and other year-end audit adjustments, (ii) do not contain
footnotes, (iii) were prepared without physical inventories,  and
(iv) do not contain an unaudited statement of cash flow, and  (v)
are  not  restated  for  subsequent  events.  The  CHC  Financial
Statements  do  not contain any material inaccuracy  and  do  not
suffer from any material omissions.

          2.5  Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.  Except as and to
the  extent  reflected or reserved against in the  CHC  Financial
Statements and except for commitments and obligations incurred in
the ordinary course of business accruing after February 28, 1995,
to  the  best  knowledge of CHC, CHC and its subsidiaries  as  of
February  28,  1995,  had, or will have at Closing,  no  material
liabilities,  claims or obligations (whether  accrued,  absolute,
contingent,  unliquidated or otherwise,  whether  due  to  become
payable  and  regardless  of  when or  by  whom  asserted).   The
liabilities  reflected  in the CHC Financial  Statements  consist
solely of accrued obligations and liabilities incurred by CHC  to
persons or entities not affiliated with CHC, except as set  forth
in Exhibit 2.5 of the Exhibit Volume.

          2.6  Letters of Credit. Except as disclosed in Exhibit 2.6

          and are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable
          laws and regulations and the policies of such third-party payors;
          and (iii) there are no outstanding, pending or threatened negative
          adjustments, recoupments or deficiencies pertaining to the cost
          reports or claims of CHC and there are no existing Medicare or
          Medicaid compliance deficiencies otherwise with respect of the
          conduct of CHC's business such as, but not limited to, licensing,
          audit, and quality assurance requirements.


          (b)  To the best knowledge of CHC, none of the officers,
          directors, employees or agents of CHC, on behalf of or for the
          benefit of CHC, directly or indirectly, has: (i) offered or paid
          any amount to, or made any financial arrangement with any of the
          past or present customers or potential customers of CHC in order
          to obtain business from such customers other than standard pricing
          or discount arrangements consistent with proper business practices
          and consistent with all applicable laws; (ii) given, or agreed to
          give, or is aware that there has been made, or that there is an

          any past or present customer, supplier, source of financing,
          landlord, sub-tenant, licensee or anyone else at any time which
          was not legal under applicable law; (iii) made, or has agreed to
          make, or is aware that there is any agreement to make any
          political payments not legal under applicable law or gifts of
          their respective funds or property to or for the private use of
          any governmental official, employee or agent where either the
          payment or the purpose of such contribution, payment or bill
          relates to the business of CHC and is illegal under the laws of
          the United States, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction
          (foreign or domestic); or (iv) made, or has agreed to make, or is
          aware that there have been, or that there is any agreement to
          make,  any payments to any person with the intention  or
          understanding that any part of such payment was to be used
          directly or indirectly for the benefit of any past or present
          customer, employee, supplier or landlord of CHC, or for any
          purpose other than that reflected in the documents supporting the
          payments and was not legal under applicable law when made.

           2.30   Patients. CHC has no reason to believe that  its
patients  for whom reimbursement has been received from  Medicare,
Medicaid  or  other  third party payors did  meet  the  applicable
eligibility standards.  To its best knowledge, CHC has  filed  all
financial and medical documentation required to be filed  therefor

the  Closing  Date, true, accurate, complete and  current  in  all
material respects.

with  or  active  on behalf of CHC, has on behalf  of  CHC  or  in
connection  with  its business, (i) used any corporate  funds  for

necessary  to make the other facts or statements set forth  herein

CHC  can  now  reasonably foresee, will have  a  material  adverse
effect  on  CHC,  its operations, assets, prospects  or  Financial
Statements.

          2.38  Representations and Warranties Deemed to be Repeated at
Effective  Date  of Merger. CHC's representations  and  warranties
contained  in  this Agreement shall be deemed to  have  been  made

commitments, understandings or arrangements by which Rx Medical is
obligated  to  issue  additional shares of its  capital  stock  or
options,  warrants or rights to purchase or acquire any additional

Rx Common Stock to be issued or transferred in connection with the
consummation  of  the transactions contemplated hereby  have  been

material  adverse  change in the business of Rx  Medical  and  its
subsidiaries;  or  any  damage,  destruction,  casualty  or   loss
materially and adversely affecting the business or property of  Rx
Medical and its subsidiaries.

          3.6  Authority; Binding Effect. Rx Medical and Acquisition
Corp  have  corporate power to execute and deliver this  Agreement

performance  of this Agreement constitutes the valid  and  binding

Articles of Incorporation or by-laws of Rx Medical or any  of  its
subsidiaries.  The  execution, delivery and  performance  of  this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this  Agreement will not  violate any provision of, or  result  in
the  breach  of,  or  constitute a  default  under,  any  law  the
violation  of  which would result in a material  liability  to  Rx
Medical and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, or any  order,
writ,  injunction or decree of any court, governmental  agency  or
arbitration  tribunal;  constitute a violation  of  or  a  default
under,  or a conflict with, any term or provision of the  Articles
of   Incorporation  or  by-laws  of  Rx  Medical  or  any  of  its
subsidiaries  or  any  material contract,  commitment,  indenture,
lease or other agreement, or any other restriction of any kind  to
which Rx Medical or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which
it is bound; or cause, or give any party grounds to cause (with or
without notice, the passage of time or both) the maturity  of  any
material  liability  or obligation of Rx Medical  or  any  of  its
subsidiaries to be accelerated, or increase any such liability  or
obligation.

          3.9  Pending Litigation. Except as set forth in Exhibit 3.9
and  more  fully described in Rx Medical's Form 10-K for the  year
ended  December 31, 1994, and its Form 10-Q for the  three  months
ended March 31, 1995, there are no proceedings pending or, to  the
knowledge  of  Rx  Medical, threatened, against  or  affecting  Rx
Medical  or  any of its subsidiaries in any court  or  before  any
governmental  authority  or arbitration board  or  tribunal  which
involve the possibility of materially and adversely affecting  the
properties,  business, prospects, profits or condition  (financial
or  otherwise) of Rx Medical or any of its subsidiaries considered
as  a whole.  Rx Medical shall promptly notify CHC of any material
lawsuits,   claims,  proceedings  or  investigations   which   are
commenced  against either it or Acquisition Corp or any  Affiliate
thereof between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date.

          3.10  Court Orders, Decrees and Laws. Except as set forth in
Exhibit  3.10 and more fully described in Rx Medical's  Form  10-K
for  the  year ended December 31, 1994, and its Form 10-Q for  the
three  months  ended March 31, 1995: (i) there is not  outstanding
or,  to  Rx  Medical's  knowledge,  threatened  any  order,  writ,
injunction  or  decree  of  any  court,  governmental  agency   or
arbitration tribunal against or affecting Rx Medical or any of its
subsidiaries  or  any  of their assets which  would  significantly
interfere with their ability to conduct their businesses; (ii)  to
Rx  Medical's  knowledge, Rx Medical and its subsidiaries  are  in
compliance  with  all applicable federal, state  and  local  laws,
<PAGE>

      regulations and administrative orders which are material the
business of Rx Medical and its subsidiaries; (iii) no governmental
authorities   are   presently  conducting  any  investigation   or
proceeding against Rx Medical or any of its subsidiaries and  (iv)
to  Rx Medical's knowledge, no such investigation or proceeding is
pending or being threatened.

           3.11   Taxes. Except as set forth in Exhibit 3.11,  all
federal,  state  and  other tax returns  of  Rx  Medical  and  its
subsidiaries  required by law to be filed have been timely  filed,
and  Rx Medical and its subsidiaries have paid or provided for all
taxes   (including   taxes  on  properties,  income,   franchises,
licenses,  sales and payrolls) which have become due  pursuant  to
such  returns or pursuant to any assessment, except for any  taxes
and assessments of which the amount, applicability or validity  is
currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and with respect to which Rx Medical and its subsidiaries have set
aside  on  its books reserves deemed to be adequate.  The  amounts
set  up  as  provisions  for  taxes on the  Rx  Medical  Financial
Statements  are sufficient for the payment of all unpaid  federal,
state,  county  and local taxes accrued for or applicable  to  the
period  then  ended  and all periods prior thereto  for  which  Rx
Medical  or any of its subsidiaries may be liable, except for  any
taxes  and  assessments  of  which the  amount,  applicability  or
validity is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings  and  with  respect  to  which  Rx  Medical   or   its
subsidiary,  as  the  case may be, has  set  aside  on  its  books
reserves deemed to be adequate.  There are no tax liens on any  of
the property of Rx Medical or any of its subsidiaries except those
with  respect to taxes not yet due and payable and except for  any
taxes  and  assessments  of  which the  amount,  applicability  or
validity is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings  and  with  respect  to  which  Rx  Medical   or   its
subsidiary,  as  the  case may be, has  set  aside  on  its  books
reserves  deemed to be adequate.  Rx Medical and its  subsidiaries
have  withheld from each payment made to employees the  amount  of
all taxes (including, but not limited to, federal, state and local
income   taxes  and  Federal  Insurance  Contribution  Act  taxes)
required  to  be  withheld therefrom and all  amounts  customarily
withheld   therefrom,  and  have  set  aside  all  other  employee
contributions  or payments customarily set aside with  respect  to
such  wages  and  have  paid or will pay  the  same  to,  or  have
deposited  or  will  deposit such payment  with,  the  proper  tax
receiving officers or other appropriate authorities.

          3.12 Labor Matters. To Rx Medical's knowledge, Rx Medical and
its  subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable  laws  and
agreements  respecting employment and employment practices,  terms
and  conditions  of employment and wages and hours,  and  are  not
engaged  in any unfair labor practice.  There is no labor  strike,
dispute, slowdown or stoppage actually pending or, to Rx Medical's
knowledge, threatened against or affecting Rx Medical  or  any  of
its  subsidiaries which materially adversely affects the  business
of Rx Medical and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.  No grievance
which  might have a material adverse effect on Rx Medical and  its
subsidiaries  or the conduct of their businesses considered  as  a
whole is pending.


<PAGE>

          3.13  Exchange Act ReportsExcept as set forth in Exhibit
3.13, Rx Medical has timely filed all reports required to be filed
by   13  or 15(d) of the 1934 Act for the 12 months preceding  the
date  hereof.  As of their respective dates, each report or  other
statement required to be filed thereunder complied in all material
respects  with  the  rules  and  regulations  promulgated  by  the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission and  none  of  such  reports
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state
a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
     
          3.14  Potential Liability under Stark Act. The potential
liabilities of Rx Medical are disclosed in the opinion of auditors
contained  in  the Company's Annual Report on Form  10-K  for  the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.  Rx Medical does not meet the
$75  million  stockholders' equity requirement of  the  OBRA  1993
amendments  to the Stark Act which, if met, would generally  allow
physician/shareholders to refer patients, and it is unlikely  that
Rx  Medical  will  meet this threshold in the foreseeable  future.
Since   January  1,  1995  and  continuing  through  the  present,
physicians who hold investment interests in Rx Medical  have  made
referrals  to facilities owned by Rx Medical and its subsidiaries.
Only a relatively small number of physicians who refer Medicare or
Medicaid  business  to  Rx Medical also own  common  stock  of  Rx
Medical, and the volume of business represented by these referring
physician/shareholders  accounts  for  less  than  7%   of   total
revenues.  That notwithstanding, management of Rx Medical believes
that  Rx  Medical's failure to qualify for the Stark Act exception
may  have  a  material  adverse impact on the business,  financial
condition, cash flows and results of operations of Rx Medical.  Rx
Medical  is taking steps to notify physician/shareholders  of  the
requirements  of  the Stark Act and to monitor its  operations  so
that  physician/shareholder  referrals  are  no  longer  accepted.
However,  there can be no assurance that Rx Medical will,  in  all
instances, be able to prevent the referral of Medicare or Medicaid
business    to    facilities    owned    by    Rx    Medical    by
physician/shareholders.

          3.15 Disclosure. No representations and warranties by Rx
Medical  in  this Agreement and no statement in this Agreement  or
any  document or certificate furnished or to be furnished  to  CHC
pursuant  hereto contains or will contain any untrue statement  or
omits or will omit to state a fact necessary in order to make  the
statements  contained  therein not  misleading.   Rx  Medical  has
disclosed  to  CHC all facts known to Rx Medical material  to  the
assets,  liabilities,  business  operations  and  property  of  Rx
Medical  and  its  subsidiaries. There are no facts  known  to  Rx
Medical not yet disclosed which would materially adversely  affect
the future operations of Rx Medical and its subsidiaries.

          3.16  Representations and Warranties Deemed to be Repeated at
Time  of  Merger.  Rx  Medical's  representations  and  warranties
contained  in  this Agreement shall be deemed to  have  been  made
again  at  and  as of the Effective Date and shall then  be  true,
accurate and complete in all material respects.

at  least  30  days  prior  to  the filing  of  such  registration
statement.   If  any  such  Shareholder or  its  transferee  gives

registration statement under the Securities Act to register all or
any  of the shares of Rx Common Stock held by such Shareholder  or
its transferee or into which any shares of Rx Preferred Stock held

$1,000,000.   Upon  receipt of such demand, Rx Medical  shall  use
commercially  reasonable efforts to diligently prepare,  file  and
process  to  effectiveness  a  registration  statement  under  the

such  registration statement until the earlier of (i) the date  on
which the last of the shares of Rx Medical Common Stock covered by

necessary for CHC or its stockholders to make an informed judgment
as   to   the   advisability  of  consummating  the   transactions
contemplated   hereby   or  to  verify  the  representations   and
warranties of Acquisition Corp herein.  Until the Closing Date  Rx
Medical  shall  notify CHC of any matter which may  be  materially
adverse  to Rx Medical and its subsidiaries considered as a  whole
and shall keep CHC fully informed of such events.

          4.8  Corporate Action. Rx Medical and Acquisition Corp will
take  all  necessary corporate and other action and use  its  best
efforts  to  obtain  all  consents, approvals  and  amendments  of
agreements   required  of  them  to  carry  out  the  transactions
contemplated  by  this  Agreement and to  satisfy  the  conditions

notice  to the indemnifying party after the indemnified party  has
knowledge  that  any legal proceeding has been instituted  or  any
claim has been asserted, in respect of which, indemnification  may
be sought under the provisions of Article 9, provided that failure
to  give  such  notice  shall  not preclude  indemnification  with
respect  to such proceeding or claim except to the extent  of  any
additional  or  increased Losses directly caused by such  failure.
If  the  indemnifying party, within ten days after the indemnified
party has given such notice (or within such shorter period of time

have acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify and shall
have  furnished to the indemnified party a bond, letter of credit,
escrow  or  similar arrangement in an amount equal  to  the  total

proceeding,  and  the  indemnified  party  shall  not  settle   or
compromise such claim or proceeding without the written consent of
the  indemnifying party, which consent shall not  unreasonably  be
