A Country Doctor Writes

Through a series of events, I started working as a consultant to the Department of Corrections in around 2006, and I was assigned to the California Medical Facility. So they can be referred by their primary care doctor or to us. It’s by choice, just like in the community. Michele: Thank you for having me.
