Review of Small Town Doc

A well produced piece about the emotional side of doctoring, “Small Town Doc” explores the empathy that we hope would apply to all physicians. As he treats patients for a variety of ills, Dr. Mike Lambke cannot help but recognize his feelings about his patients and their situation. In addition to dealing with his own feelings, Dr. Lambke helps his patients work through their feelings as well. Tight editing and skillful mixing make this piece move along nicely, and it covers a lot of ground during a short period of time. The reporter’s narration is well written and delivered in a documentary style. This feature would make an excellent addition to any health related magazine program dealing with a physician’s feelings for himself and his patients.
