Yet that’s the reality poignantly captured in “The Only Doctor”, a profile from Reel South and PBS of Dr. Karen Kinsell, who operates the lone medical clinic in impoverished, rural Clay County, Georgia. For a portrait of America’s health care inequities so powerful it’s now taught in medical schools as inspiration to young doctors to work in underserved communities.
