Review of Small Town DocA 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. |

Review of Small Town Doc
I thought that this a very thoughtful segment that evoked both thoughts and emotions in me. I really liked the story of this doctor and want to have this kind of physician caring for me. I love how it began with the birth. Speaking as a parent, it seemed as the the world stopped and nothing else mattered when I was at the birth of my child. It was kind of neat to hear the doctor perspective. It was also interesting to hear the stories of the other patients. The producer really chose great clips and took great care in setting up the situation. The segment was well editied and covered a lot of ground. I could hear this on All things Considered or Weekend Edition.
