t r u t h o u t | Oysters for Health Care

PEOPLE'S RX
Although Dr. Regina Benjamin's clinic has not been able to give her a salary for years she's been willing to buy patient meds out of her own pocket. As we well know, many of the folks in the bayou are poor. So poor that sometimes she's paid with a pint of oysters or a couple of fish and she's been fine with that too. As a result she's received accolades from the health care industry and local politicos as well. This week, Numero Uno nominated her for Surgeon General.
