Vitals - In bad economy, more docs and nurses trade debt for service

Vitals - In bad economy, more docs and nurses trade debt for service

Sarah Baker drives 130 miles round-trip every weekday from her home in Bismarck, N.D., to her job as the sole provider of primary health care in McClusky, N.D. -- population 500.

“I’m it,” says the 49-year-old family nurse practitioner, whose duties have ranged from an office visit for a 2-day-old newborn to a surgical session with a 75-year-old man who nearly lost an ear in a fall down an elevator shaft.

“I give them their flu shots, I give them their shingles shots,” she said. “I know I’ve kept some of them out of the hospital.”
