Postings

Doctors on the places their training sent them.

From the editors

Medicine decides where you live more often than you do: a college allotted by rank, an internship in another state, a rural posting served under bond. Some of those places are endured. Some quietly become home.

Postings collects doctors’ writing about those places, with the specificity they deserve: the rooms, the food, the friendships, the boredom and the surprise.

    The town I did not choose

    A rural posting began as something to survive. It became the place I measure other places against.

    A small town bus stand at dusk, a tea stall lit by a single bulb.

    A year in a district hospital town

    Housing, food, friendship and boredom: what a year outside the metros is really like.
