My 13 Hours with Remote Area Medical

NOT-SO-REMOTE MEDICAL HELP: Headquartered in Knoxville, Remote Area Medical gathers teams of volunteers to dispense free medical assistance around the world, most often in the Appalachian region. (Its next local clinic is April 30-May1 in Clinton.) Supplies can be exceeded by the great demand, such as the free glasses at the March 12-13 “expedition” to Pigeon Forge High School.

The last time I saw a doctor or a dentist was the last time I had a “real job,” the kind with a 40- to 50-hour week and health insurance and a pension. That was two years ago, when I taught U.S. government and economics at a public high school. Not that I haven’t been working since then—just that since my contract as a public school teacher was not renewed due to budget cuts, the work that has been available has never paid much more than what health insurance costs. Since reverting to underemployed/low-income status, TennCare has been an absolute blessing in terms of coverage for my teenage son and daughter—but not being pregnant or under 19 years old renders their dad ineligible for health care paid for by the Volunteer State.

Stan Brock was the last person I would ever have dreamed would land in Knoxville to live, much less set up a base of operations to deliver free health care all over the globe. Stan was one of the coolest white guys on ’70s TV. I watched him every Sunday on Mutual of Omaha’s might have been TV’s first animal reality show that wasn’t about hunting them down and whacking them. That never meant that khaki-clad Stan was some wussy kitten cuddler. The episodes were more like animal rescue operations in the wild, with Stan wrestling a crocodile or python to relocate it farther away from people, or running down a bear cub to get him back to his injured mother. (Marlin usually stayed in the Jeep with the gun.)

Apparently, Brock decided his own species also needed ongoing rescue operations. He founded Remote Area Medical in 1985 to “deliver basic medical aid to people in the world’s inaccessible regions,” according to the website. Brock developed a network of doctors, nurses, dentists, veterinarians, and technicians who go on RAM “expeditions” at their own expense. Meanwhile, RAM delivers and sets up equipment and supplies for each event, which lasts two or three days. While RAM does expeditions to India, Nepal, Africa, the Caribbean, and South America, according to the website 60 percent of their service is in Appalachia. This may have something to do with the fact that RAM maintains a hangar at Knoxville’s Downtown Island Home Airport for a handful of Cessnas, as well as a DC-3 that dropped troops over Normandy in World War II.
