doclee,

I appreciate Texas is a huge state but would guess you're never a hell of a distance from a good hospital, esp with the fact that you can pick up a phone and whistle up a chopper in short order, or get onto a good tar road within a few miles.

Probably wouldn't work work quite so well in some parts of Africa where the nearest clinic, let alone a hospital or doctor might easily be a 12 hour drive away.

For example, the Bugando Hospital in Mwanza Tanzania is the only hospital for about 400 miles in any direction and even that often has no electricity, drugs and almost certainly no antivenom.

Pretty much all the doctors are from overseas and usually only there for a few weeks at a time.

Have you swept the visioned valley with the green stream streaking though it?
Searched the vastness for a something you have lost?
Have you strung your soul to silence? Then for God's sake go and do it
Hear the challenge, learn the lesson, pay the cost
