Rural health care oral history project, 1982.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/64126061

This collection documents changes in health care during the twentieth century in the rural counties of Pulaski, Wayne, and McCreary. They discuss how a health care system based in the home and community slowly changed to one administered by professionals in hospitals and doctors' offices, and reveal that many residents miss the personal, intimate aspects of rural health care. Other topics include modern medical technology, the escalating costs of modern health care, the old barter system of payment, doctors in politics, the effect of the government on changes in health care, black physicians, folk medicine, and home remedies.
