One thing to keep in mind about doctors here is that there is a program that sponsors young doctors fresh out of training to work in rural America for three years and by doing so at the end of that period have their tuition loan debts retired by the sponsors (federal tax payers?) of the program. Many of the doctors that service our clinics are here on those terms, and once they do their time they leave. I suspect very few actually put roots down and become life long members, and contributors, of our community. And, for the most part we probably loose the best of them.
