Once upon a time there was a TV show called Northern Exposure which was about fresh medical graduates working off education costs while providing medical services in the far reaches of Alaska. I was given to understand that such was a real life arrangement with new doctors starting out. But I wonder how Alaskans ever took to always getting rookies. I suppose a rookie is better than NO doctor, huh.

Paying doctors to practice in rural areas may be the only way to alleviate the rural healthcare crisis. That, and canceling all student loan debt and make college free. Many kids, including some I know in real life, dream of being a doctor or a nurse. And then they give it up because the cost to go through college is too expensive. #Iowa https://dailyyonder.com/commentary-its-time-governments-consider-paying-doctors-to-practice-in-rural-areas/2024/03/01/

In #CedarRapids, #Iowa, yesterday, a male driver reportedly rammed his truck into a group of #women protesting the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn #Roe v. Wade. The collision sent at least one woman to the hospital. Local #police said that they’re investigating the incident.
Police said that an argument broke out between the driver of the truck and a protester before the collision, according to the Washington Post. Witnesses told the Huffington Post that the driver navigated around a line of cars, ran a red light, and plowed into the marchers, running over a woman’s ankle.
Video taken immediately after the incident shows women attempting to stop the truck, which continues to drive forward.
