Why did I decide to practice rural medicine? Maybe it is a way of life, a calling, a bottom of the class placement, an easy life, or just a challenge. Well for me I cannot say it has always been a way of life as I am from the third largest municipality in Pennsylvania, the youngest of 4 boys of a truck driver and stay-at-home mom, and I suffer with Hay fever. Maybe it is a calling as I love to teach and my patients up here in the hollers want me to help and guide them. I love to listen and understand my paitents and they love to share stories and be your friend. I think everyone is created equal and has special gifts. My patients want to be understood and respected as they are wonderful craftsmen and talented women. They bring me all kinds of baked goods, home canning, jams and jellies, fresh vegetables, woodworking, and beautiful handmade quilts.
stayed tuned for more,
Gary
