My sister read this book first and said I should read it too.
Its a memoir of a woman who goes home to Tennessee to help out her dad with his medical practice when her mother is in the hospital after having a heart attack. Her dad is the only medical provider within 100 miles. Many of his clients don't have insurance and don't pay money either in most cases but pay with other goods.
The woman leaves a pretty high powered job in Washington DC on capital hill. So she tries to keep up with that job and trying to figure out how to fill in for her mother who was the receptionist/medical assistant/ cleaner of spills. Its a pretty heartwarming book filled with stories about patients that are seen at the practice. I especially like the one's involving Michael. She tells humorous stories about the patients and especially about an addict who is trying to get percocet from the Doctor. But she does it in such a way that you know that these people are people she cares about.
