I grew up in a very rural area that had an…unconventional doctor. To be exact, she’d been both a bushdoctor and a doctor for the Raiders, after she got out of the military.
She did some odd treatments– for example, if someone HAD to get back to work, she’d give them a different treatment than if they had time to heal properly.
I can’t imagine her allowing ANY of the stuff from that Winkler County case. That wasn’t a doctor, that was a freaking snake-oil salesman.
