The Rural Generalist | Part 5/6: — Rural Medicine Is a Team Sport My team doesn’t just know their jobs. They know me, my ordering patterns, how I think; they know what I’m gonna do before I do it. They’re comfortable coming to me to verify things and offer opinions & together we’ve all learned how to make each other better. #RuralMedicine #Hospital #RadTech #RespiratoryTherapy

The Rural Generalist | Part 6/6: And THAT is Rural Medicine 🩺❤️ I’ve spent this series talking about the clinical side of rural medicine. The responsibility, the autonomy, the limitations, and the unique challenges of being a physician in a small hospital. But this last part? This is the part that’s hardest to explain. Because in rural medicine, the people you care for aren’t always strangers. They’re your neighbors, your former teachers, your friends, your colleagues, and the families you’ve known your entire life. Some days it’s hilarious. Some days it’s heartbreaking. And a lot of days, it’s both. There’s a weight to caring for your own community that I don’t think you can fully understand until you’ve lived it. But there’s also an incredible privilege in being trusted to do it. And despite all the challenges, this is the part I wouldn’t trade. and THAT is rural medicine 🤠❤️ #RuralMedicine #RuralGeneralist #Hospitalist #DoctorLife #SmallTownMedicine
