On this edition of Your Call, we rebroadcast our conversation about Medicine Man, a documentary that tells the story of Stan Brock, a British-born-cowboy-turned-TV-star. In 1992 Brock left behind fame and wealth to bring free healthcare to the United States.
Remote Area Medical has since provided free medical, dental, and vision care to nearly one million people in the US and has provided free COVID testing to underserved communities. Medicine Man examines the shocking paradox of pop-up field hospitals in the world’s most affluent nation, while telling Brock’s incredible story. He passed away in 2018, but his legacy lives on.
Guests:
Paul Michael Angell, director of Medicine Man: The Stan Brock Story
Douglas Blush, award-winning director, co-producer and consulting editor of Medicine Man: The Stan Brock Story
Jeff Eastman, CEO of Remote Area Medical
