My initial thought was they did it for years in rural America. But there are things about modern medicine that have changed that matrix. Still I'd assume they have internet access to consult with experts as needed, so why not.

I tip my hat to those family medicine docs and nurse midwives that work in the rural areas of this country. The on-call hours will wear you down over time and essentially you can be sued up until the child hits their adult status.

Here is MS they pay for students in medical school to go into general practice on what the call the rural Medical scholarships. When they graduate they go to rural counties that are far from big hospitals and are everything from OB/GYN to colds cause most of the time these folks can't drive to get quality health care and these new and upcoming students have the latest training available. For every year of medical school paid for the are required to work in a rural area for two years. Now they get a regular salary but they don't have medical bills. Some even make housecalls.
