From experience . . .

Maybe it was the time we had to call our wives and cancel Christmas because a psychiatrist who had not seen a medical case in 30 years had been sent to staff our Emergency Department for the holidays. Or maybe it was the day that the new ED physician announced that he would only work with nurses who wore veils over their faces. Or maybe it was when a physician arrived after "emergency credentialling" only to be followed by the FBI four hours later. "You're only a small, rural hospital," we were told. "It's hard to find physicians who are willing to go there."

. . . a vision.
Somewhere along the way a vision was born. People in rural communities who come to their local Emergency Department deserve to be cared for by physicians who are culturally appropriate, have the necessary skills, and maybe most importantly want to serve them.
