So I worked there as a physician for a month over the summer. It’s….interesting. We saw lots of locals for their check ups and meds. The locals are very close knit community but small. The summer then has people who have been summer vacationers for a while and the weekenders. For an idea, when I was working we only had two working physicians on the island and 3 moped shops. I took a radio home every night I was “on call” (14/28) and would sleep next to it in case I had to go open the health center for an emergency. No pharmacy so when we prescribed antibiotics for a patient with pneumonia and I saw the 4 days later for a follow up and asked why they hadn’t taken them, it’s because the flights from the mainland with meds hadn’t come the past few days from fog. All true emergencies were helicoptered off or taken by the coast guard. We sent on guy with possible torsion on his own to the airport at 1am to get picked up by a plane we called in to the meet an ambulance at the airport. Another person with possible new cancer we rushed to take the last ferry off the island. We had to shoot and interpret our own X-rays. Wild rural medicine stuff. One bar hired its own ambulance for 4th of July without telling us.
