Im surprised this isnt a bigger story. It's called "Remote Area Medical" corps, or RAM. It got started to set up temporary hospitals in developing countries...till the founders realized that the US had just as many people in need of healthcare. We plan to attend and film when they set up in our state in october: http://www.ramusa.org/expeditions/schedule.htm 60 Minutes did a good story here on the overall project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n78uVW7S7As These are things Id love to see videobloggers record.
