Turning the tables on health care

After Cathy Brooks cut her leg at her downtown Las Vegas dog training business, the Hydrant Club, she became concerned when the wound started to swell and burn. Brooks snapped a photo and emailed it to her doctor, who asked to see her as soon as possible. But she couldn’t leave work, so her doctor and a staffer paid her an on-the-job visit, wrote her a prescription and outlined her care for the next 48 hours.

“I was shocked,” Brooks said. “They even asked if I had a tetanus shot recently. Because if not, they would bring one with them.”
