Doctor's Black Bag

The Doctor's Black bag chronicles Doctor Elwood L Schmidt's journey from college through general practice in small towns in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. Dr. Schmidt's life gives us a glance into medical practice with the Hopi and Navajo in Arizona and the Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe people in Nevada. His interactions with patients and his involvement in community life are typical of a doctor in the West.
