Description:
Claire Louise Caudill has delivered more than 8,000 babies over the years, in and around her hometown of Morehead, Kentucky. She was instrumental in establishing a hospital there, and in 1995 she was named Country Doctor of the Year. She has been interviewed by CBS, and written about in USA Today.
Expand description
Dr. Louise stopped delivering babies when she turned seventy, but today, at the age of 85, she is still in practice. Her friend Susie Halbleib has served as a nurse in Caudill's clinic since it opened in 1946. Their patients will not let them retire.
Country Doctor presents a series of interviews that tell Caudill's story, and a one-woman, two-act play entitled Me n' Susie, based upon those oral histories. Together, they provide a vivid picture of life in the hills of Eastern Kentucky and a fine demonstration of the creative possibilities for the use of oral history.
