For more than a half century, residents of a tiny western Mississippi community have counted on Dr. Carrol Landrum’s house calls for their health care.

The sight of Landrum’s dented, black, 2007 Toyota Camry pulling up has brought relief to countless shut-ins in Edwards, a town of about 1,000 about 28 miles west of Jackson. But the state medical board is probing the country doctor, an 88-year-old World War II veteran, because, he says, they don’t like him working out of his car.

“I didn’t know there was any law against it,” Landrum, who grew up in Taylorsville, but has practiced medicine in Edwards since 1959, told FoxNews.com.

Landrum said Andrew Pitts, an investigator for the board, told him the board objects to him writing prescriptions out of his car and has been monitoring him for months, tracking all of his visits.

“He said the director had told him to ask me to surrender my license right then and there or I would come before the board,” said Landrum. “And he said basically, ‘If you surrender it here, nobody would know about it. But if it goes to the board, it’ll be public knowledge and it might affect your reputation.’"

Landrum said he refused, and is determined to continue his work.

Only the government can provide affordable care.

Edwards was once a thriving town and can be reached easily from Interstate 20. It’s between the capitol,Jackson, and Vicksburg, site of a National Cemetary and Battlefield. If I’d known this guy was doing this while I was traveling thru so often, I’d have tried to see him. A WW2 vet, still doing all he can, God bless him.
But, as we are being drug further down the rabbithole, medical care will be harder to find and will cost more as it, along with food, are the prime ways to control us. Ration these essentials, and control the population.
Back to Edwards, there is a old bridge that went over the train track that is unique, and a old Chevrolet dealership that had to be one of the largest in the state at that time it was operating. The building stands abandoned, and the bidge looks to be in good shape. If your’e traveling thru.
