Wilcox County, Alabama has one physician for every 4,667 people. For decades they have struggled to recruit doctors to the poverty stricken region. Hope for the future of their health care system is bleak with only one student in line to return to Wilcox.

BTW, isn't the WHO & UN minimum recommended medical coverage one doc for every 4000 people?
These particular doctors serve not only as physicians, but also as dentists when needed. Not to mention they still have to tend to the emergency room.
It doesn't help that a lage percentage of their patients have no access to transportation. And all of this occuring while two of the doctors are on the verge of retirement! What a dilemma.
reality TV,...This country should take note of the fine physicians in your video who dedicate their time and devotion to the people of Wilcox. These are the real people of America dealing with real issues. These are the people who should be seen on our news casts. People who do very meaningful things for ordinary people. Great job...
I'd love to see some of your work!
It is really amazing how many area's suffer from this same problem. I am interested in using your video in some of my presentations. Would this be possible?
It really brings the point home in an emotional way to make people realize what we deal with sometimes in rural areas. I think people forget the most important things in life sometimes because they assume that everyone has access to healthcare and techonology, when in reality not everyone does. you may contact me by email at ecahec@yahoo.com Thanks again for the great work... by the way, some of your other videos are awesome too!!!
well done
