Just found the magazine in Docs office and went to this website. I am impressed and will be returning. If folks only knew how much we do for our veterans. God speed. Mic Brewer-Sykes. Disabled Veteran USMC/Vietnam 7th Marines.

Many reasons may exist for this, namely that it is difficult to get a higher concentration of medical experts to live and work and sign long-term commitments to live and work in rural settings which are far-removed from urban areas with higher concetrations and closer proximity to necessary other specialists and machines.
It seems to be easier to bring the rural patients to the urban medical care facilities, than to bring the continuum of specialists to the rural areas.
