What first attracted you to DWC?
Gary Morsch came to our residency in Colorado and spent time telling us about DWC and was the one who recruited us. He sure seemed like a nice guy with noble missions.
What were you doing prior to joining DWC?
I was a family medicine resident, and then I was a public health physician.
What personal and/or professional advantages do you enjoy as a result of your association with DWC?
My wife and I are both physicians. We work part time in order to experience our first son’s childhood. My part time work is more part time than my wife’s. When I leave the office, I leave town.
How has your view of medicine changed because of your work with DWC in small, rural hospitals?
An ENT friend of mine asked me over to dinner the other night, “What company owns your hospital?” I responded, “The county owns the hospital. It’s the only hospital in the county.”
What makes DWC unique to you?
I haven’t really looked around, but it seems that the local companies that call me ask for a long-term commitment for a long period of time. With DWC I have long term commitment for multiple short periods of time.
“The highlight(s) and/or most memorable experience(s) of my association with DWC thus far is/are….”
My most memorable shifts with DWC always involve county fairs. Usually, the fairs include rodeos. Often, rodeos are followed by stock car races. After the races, come the hoe downs…and finally, hoe downs are followed by beer brawls at local bars. I can keep time of the events by what rolls into the ER.
