Filmed over three years in intimate cin\u00e9ma v\u00e9rit\u00e9 style, COUNTRY DOCTOR follows Dr. James Graham in Fairfax, Oklahoma (population 1,263), who has spent over 40 years dispatching medicine, comfort, and wisdom to his patients. As Fairfax Community Hospital files for bankruptcy, Dr. Graham and his team fight to provide adequate healthcare for their community. Amid staff shortages and uncertainty for the future, a new buyer for the hospital provides a cautious beacon of hope.<\/p><div id=\"morty-557356567\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>With a severe lack of medical facilities in rural communities, Dr. Graham takes on multiple roles, dividing his time between Fairfax Hospital, a nursing home, and three clinics, one of which is 60 miles away and serves four counties. In addition, he makes house calls, treating an often poor and uninsured population. Having known some of his patients for their whole lives, he provides an essential, human lifeline to care, even traveling to the Oklahoma State Capitol to lobby for more governmental assistance. The film also features the publisher and editor of the local Fairfax newspaper, who investigates the motives of the hospital&#8217;s new owner.<\/p>\n<p>Fairfax is a microcosm of a larger national crisis: vulnerable, rural hospitals are under-resourced, at risk of closure, and facing a severe shortage of doctors. COUNTRY DOCTOR captures that crisis with clear-eyed compassion, and positions Dr. Graham&#8217;s story as a powerful lens through which to understand both the fragility and the fierce resilience of rural healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>Featured Participants: Dr. James Graham, Darlene Graham, the staff of Fairfax Community Hospital, Joe and Carol Conner, publisher and editor The Fairfax Chief, and Dr. Elizabeth Pusey, MD.<\/p>\n<p>Credits: HBO Documentary Films presents COUNTRY DOCTOR, a Mackerel Sky Films production.
