Ask most folks if they would trade the crime, high taxes, traffic nightmares, and general hassle of big cities for the pastoral setting of small-town life, and their first question may be what time the moving van arrives. Life in a small town can be peaceful, quiet, and relaxing: just the tonic for the headaches of modern urban life. Then reality in the form of illness intrudes, and the services of a doctor are needed. Unfortunately, in many rural areas of Texas, one may not be available.
