You Can Do Surgery Anywhere with Doc Sayer - TAS #23

The Alaska Show - A podcast by Alex Trokey

We sit down with surgeon Doc Sayer and gold miner Emily Riedel in Nome. Doc is 82 and has been doing general surgery across Alaska for 50 years. He's asurgeon from a bygone era - performing everything from brain surgery to heart surgery - performing procedures in homes with his wife and nursing assistant Frankie and sometimes taking payment in the form of game meat instead of cash. In addition to being a medical pioneer in the state of Alaska, Doc has been a gold miner for 40 years. www.TheAKShow.com
