Omfg! My grandparents grew up in a town just like that! Heck, the GP also stood in AS THE PREACHER /DENTIST

Certified legends, i tell ya

We have a buddy that was a heck of a mechanic. He remembered everything. We said Bubba you should be a doctor. He became one. Bought an HK MP5 with some of the grant money. Worked all around. Landed at the local VA. Oddly enough I too was one of many Americans forced out of work by NAFTA and ended up a nurse. I too landed at the VA. It was an honor to work with Dr Bubba. Oh. Did I mention he’s also a great electrician. His actual passion. Will hard wire in your generator if you’re into prepping. Cheers

Sounds like they serve the same niche as cartel/gang doctors. Everyone listens to their orders without question and anyone who attempts to even try hurting them gets shot by the community.

I didn't get that part why is the government a threat to rural docs?

@@holyknight9507 well according to Jasper the government is a threat to everyone.

A lot of government run programs don’t look out for people in rural communities, so there’s a lot of distrust

@@holyknight9507 the government is just generally seen as an unwanted interference in the farming life.

Or just life in general. And if the choice is…concert feds into pig feed or lose the doctor. What choice would you make?

There is no good weather…

@@suzannemartini9973 Pretty sure rain is great weather if you wanna grow something

@@DeathnoteBB just my impression after listening to farmers during 27+ years of rural family medicine….

The nod and laugh was the answer. I wouldn't say I'm fluent in rural, but I get by. That was "Yeah, but more like being afraid for him than afraid of him."

​@@Amigo21189Nono. As a former rural (Australia not America) it was absolutely more of a "yes you should, just stay on his good side and don't bring up politics with him and you won't have problems" Man will absolutely go to jail for someone elses argument if he likes the person they're arguing with enough, so everyone is in agreement that everyone is his friend so he never picks a side.

As a patient, I'd be willing to climb in. No more specialists arguing over which type to order first, then forget to follow-up with the second.

If the Mexican place isn't being run by a grumpy couple with their kids playing translator while ringing the gringo up, all while her parents yell the most awful things at each other (learned so many new phrases that way) as the jukebox blairs mariachi, don't even bother

Best Chinese food I've ever had was at a place in a town of about 10,000 people. Their orange chicken was nothing like any I've ever had since, it had chunks of orange peel in it that were candied or something. Absolutely phenomenal.

We've got a phenomenal Thai place run by a first generation Thai that's got a picture of the Thai royalty on the wall and everything, it's almost as good as the fancy place I went to in D.C. for half the price

"First Gen" can GTFOH. They have a homeland they messed up and ran away from.

Don’t forget Rural American burgers! In my town, which had a population of about 200 total, the only place to go(literally) if you are hungry and don’t wanna drive for 30 minutes is “The Bar.” Yes. There was so little competition that you could just call it “The Bar.” Anyway, The Bar is run by some nice people who get the meat locally and has some AMAZING recepies and cooks. I myself don’t like coleslaw, but everyone in the nearest 500 miles and liked coleslaw says that theirs is the best. But yeah, steaks, sliders, burgers, basically anything with beef they can cook it up for you. And it’s ALWAYS perfectly done, never burned. I once had a cousin who had his first time in the town ask for his to be “REALLY Well Done.” The chef had managed to somehow keep all the juices on it while blackening it like a hockey puck- and after you bit through the charcoal outside, it was still so juicy inside. Idk man, rural food in a farming/ranching place is always top of the line.

His patients don't have time for BS, neither does he.

There are other parts of Montana? 😂❤

@@FineFlu 😂😂😂 I regret to say Bozeman and it’s now 5-lanes of traffic no longer can be considered “rural” (as well as Kalispell, Missoula, Billings, several others) 🚗🚙🚗🚙🚗🚙🚗🚙🚗🚙🚗

Ooh, I'd thought it was just a reference to a previous skit where he mentioned getting paid in eggs. I didn't even think about the egg shortage!

If I'd gotten paid in eggs during the shortage I'd have traveled to the nearest big city & sold them out of my trunk/truck bed for only $4-5 a dozen. Might even bring along a few of the ladies as a petting zoo too. $1 to pet a chicken. No refunds when she pecks you but for $2 I'll let you pick her up. For another $5 I'll even how you how to hold her with getting beaten up by wings or scratched by feet. For $25 I'll give you the freshest chicken you've ever gotten in your life. Just uh give me a moment or 10 to walk around the truck & get it. No I'm not carrying a knife to butcher the chicken. That's just a pocketknife. My butchering knife is over there.

Good luck!

@@sisuguillam5109 Thank you so much!

Make sure to buy your formal bib overalls. (They can tell if they’re rented 😉)

Just a note: Some large hospitals are located near rural areas, if you'd like to have rural patients and access to specialty and other advanced care.

Just be careful who you start it with bc my dairy uncles would end it by railing against global warming conspiracies and go to anti vaccine rants

@@prairieN that may be the case sometimes, but back in my day (shakes finger like a curmudgeon), we didn't have the internet, we had almanacs and were grateful for it!

It's true. It's not just idle smalltalk there either. It's honest to god conversation. (Source: am from tornado alley)

@@WxBuggin for sure! I don't live that far away from where I grew up and 9 times out of 10, if you mention the weather to an elderly person, you get a really cool conversation from it.

🇨🇦 God invented the weather so 99% of people would have something to talk about. Farm raised.

And de-tassling corn season!

So at harvest season the weather is fine and there is nothing to be fixed?

I only have a little garden, so my seasons are: Weeding, sowing, weeding, planting, weeding, watering, weeding, binding, weeding, watering, weeding, harvesting, weeding, cleaning, weeding, weeding, weeding and weeding.

In the farm areas I have lived in (corn, soybeans), harvest season does not begin until you have crops that are dry enough to harvest. So, if it has been a wet fall, you might be into November and the corn is still to wet to harvest (the drying costs would eat up any profit). If the fall is dry enough, one may begin combining corn in September. It depends on the moisture content. Once the moisture content is low enough, everything is secondary to the harvest. Often you start early in the day and go until late at night. A close eye is kept on the weather and every good day is in the fields harvesting. No time to worry about the weather, only time to make sure the equipment is in the next field to harvest. Finally, as to fixing equipment--only the absolute minimum to keep equipment running. You might fix a broken belt on your combine, however you do not care about the condition of your planter or sprayer. During harvest season, everyone pitches in to get the crops out of the field. If you don't get the crops out of the fields before the first snowstorm, the crops will rot under the blanket of snow. In the high plains, that snow can easily come in October or even earlier. And by snow, I am talking about several inches of snow. When my uncle harvested, my aunt would drive trucks until close to meal time. She would drive to the house and whip up a meal to bring back with her. Usually food that she had prepared a couple of days before harvest began. She brought the food back to the field and everyone ate on the run as they had the chance. Time was not to be wasted on coming back to the house for a meal. You might take the time on Sunday to go to church and then go back out into the fields Sunday afternoon. If it is a really tight time to harvest, trying to get the crops out before a storm forecast to hit the area in the next couple of days, you may even skip church that week. At least that has been my experience living in the corn belt.

@@ankavoskuilen1725 harvest time is the most important time of the year and everything else is just the lead up to then. Everything was fixed earlier or jerry rigged so it'll last until after harvest when you have time to fix it while worrying about the weather.

In the US groups in some smaller towns and rural areas will also help to subsidize mortgages for new docs who live & work in the area. The pitch is that it may not be the big city, but it's a safe and great place to raise a family with a high standard of living

Is this true for AU nurses as well?

@@tanja-k nope. For a while there the Victorian Government where covering the expense of university for nurses but it was short lived. The course fee is capped though and was around a quarter of the price of my Paramedicine degree.

You know sometimes I think about becoming a gp and this has kind of convinced me into looking at it much more seriously. I already live in the middle of nowhere, Queensland (nearest town is 1hr 30 away) so I have the rural student box ticked already

In Australia a Rural Generalist would normally have at least one other formal sub specialty.

We call that an apprenticeship

No kidding. Saw a FM doc remove a basal cell carcinoma from a nose for the first time. Patient refused to go to general ENT 30 miles away or 130 miles to University Dermatology. Pt refused any other treatment "you removed it from my arm last year, just do the nose."

Ideally you end up in a team of people with different interests and skills that complement each other. But you at least need to be competent in primary care/family medicine plus emergency (but without any of the expensive toys)!

That was Family Medicine.

@@ferretyluv But its also rural medicine, these poor lads are a dying breed :(

​@@gandalf_thegreyI think theyre trying to weed out rural d0cs+ any d0cs over the age of 50 which sucks. Ive had my best care with older docs and docs from rural india. Best docs ever. Its like the healthc4re system wants all the d0cs to treat all the patients the same and all h0spitals want to treat all d0cs the same. Thats not good for anyone. The field has become even more money driven than it was.

I felt screwed when years ago they shut down the local hospital thus forcing everyone to commute the extra 45 minutes to a larger city. The people out there are not exactly wealthy and most worked trade jobs alongside their usual rural occupations. Not only do they have a higher injury rate than the local white collar crowd but they go to work earlier and usually had family squarely resting on them, logistically, to fix/transport them to said hospital. Calling EMS isn't a thing when you know how much the bill is (even with insurance) AND that some frequent flier city bum is going to clog up the system so that true emergencies get seen later because it takes time to restock the truck&clean it.

Lol, just learned about this in my physiology class

The only problem with rural medicine is you get paid in eggs but the loan companies expect payment in cash...

@@danielles6896 It balances out if you don't need to buy eggs and can sell some of them.

One of my early calls involved a kid who got torn up in the barbed wire. I was told to stitch him up and refused because I had no idea how to stitch up anything that big or small strictly speaking. So instead I got yelled out to fetch the tape, and so we used that to basically bind the kid’s abdomen shut for driving him to the hospital. In the back of a patrol car.

She'd be more careful with the quarter then you. Let's be honest here

That does explain my mother's reactions whenever we get hurt when we were kids... She grew up in a rural area.

Felt that, when I was 12, we lived about 45min from the nearest ER. I remember my dad coming home with an army survival basics book n an emergency kit, handing em to me. He said "read up on the emergency procedures section, never know when you might have to stitch, splint or use a tourniquet in order to make it back to the house. If you get seriously injured out in the back 40, there's a chance we won't be able to find you till it's too late. Better to know what to do in a worst case scenario than become food for the coyotes." Might sound a bit morbid, but he was right, myself n a couple buddy's are still around today thanks to my dad's foresight.
