Scope and Contents

From the Collection: This interview with Reserve (Catron County), New Mexico's Dr. Lloyd G. Foster (1908-1999), summarizes his nearly 50 years' medical practice in New Mexico. A "country doctor" in the traditional sense of the term, Dr. Foster has been the only physician in his Connecticut-size county for most of his half-century of practice. In addition to his personal and professional background, this interview surveys rural practice in an isolated setting, the special problems and rewards associated with it, and the personal ethos of this long-time practitioner.
