Interesting Perspectives on Rural Medicine 
I am a student who will likely attend medical school in Fall 2009 for rural medicine. I loved this book, and felt that, while at times a little hard to read (this is no beach reading), it was interesting and thought-provoking. Each story of each physician working with a rural population helped me cement my interest in working with this often overlooked area. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Pennsylvania healthcare, rural healthcare in general, or medicine for underserved populations.

I am a country doctor 
This is a book I cherish. It sits on my shelf nearest my desk in my office, and I frequently find myself opening it when I am tired, or worn. Once I've read a little, I get a big lump in my throat, the tears well up, and I feel better. If you are country doctor, please get this.

Inspirational stories of rural doctors
After reading this book, I have a greater appreciation and admiration for rural family doctors. As I read each chapter, I was able to experience the doctor/patient interactions as if I was right in the exam room.
All of the doctors profiled in this book possess unique character traits that make them so engaging.
What is unique about this book is that it not only gives you insight into the medical practice of these doctors, but it gives you an intimate look at their lives. It explores how rural medical practice is intimately connected to all aspects of life in a small town.
This book was beautifully written and I highly recommend it.
