Albuquerque Indian Hospital
Here's the main clinic where I am an extern. As you can see from my photos that is is an urban clinic. Here patients have primary care providers, a pharmacy , diabetic care, optometric care, social services, medical insurance and referrals for special treatments and psychiatric services. That was a run on sentence but you get the idea. This is a one stop shop for medical care. I've asked if I could be adopted into somebody's tribe so I can get this kind of care. If you think socialized medicine doesn't work think again. This is 100% better care than our hodge podge insurance wilderness.
