For decades the only doctor in Stockbridge, Mass., Campbell was a classic small-town physician, Campbell not only took care of every aspect of medical care for everyone in town (and sometimes their pets), he even had to develop his own x-ray films and process his own lab work. You may never have heard his name, but you've probably seen his picture: he was the model for one of Norman Rockwell's most famous paintings, "Before the Shot". The painting, made for a 1958 cover of the Saturday Evening Post magazine, shows Campbell preparing an injection for a young boy who is carefully studying the doctor's diploma. Dr. Campbell died at home in Stockbridge May 14. He was 95. From This is True for 13 May 2001 Suggestions for further reading:

By: Bettilu Stein Faulkner List Price: $14.95 Amazon Price: $14.95 Editorial Review: A thoroughly entertaining and yet profoundly affecting account of the life of the author's uncle, a respected small-town doctor who, from the 1930s through the 1970s, experienced a wide range of spiritual phenomena: regularly journeying out of body and channeling his spirit guide, George. Through the records and journals of Dr. Riblet B. Hout, or "Rib" as he was known, we are made privy to what he learned about the connection between the healer and the healed, our individual missions on earth, free will, and our relationship with God. He also paints a vivid picture of the afterlife and provides a beautifully graphic first-person account of the actual moment of death, as the soul transitions away from physical life. A Psychic in the Heartland goes a long way in dispelling our fears about the process of dying and of what happens after death. It also offers history and insight into Spiritualism and the "spiritualist camps" of the day (as Dr. Hout was a frequent visitor and sought-after speaker).  By: Howard K. Rabinowitz List Price: $29.95 Amazon Price: $24.26 Editorial Review: Medical students lack role models in rural primary care, contributing to the severe shortage of family care physicians in rural areas. This unique book addresses that need by profiling ten graduates from the Physician Shortage Area Program (PSAP) of Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, who are now practicing rural family medicine. At the heart of this text is a challenge to pre-med undergraduates, medical students, and family physicians to consider rural family practice. An excellent resource for pre-med and medical school advisors, the book brings into focus the true calling of medicine?making a difference by helping others. The text opens by discussing the impact that the PSAP has had on the physician shortage. In-depth profiles advance the topic by revealing the everyday reality of the shortage through poignant stories and candid dialogue. They cover the spectrum of social and professional issues that rural family physicians face, addressing topics such as the meaning of rural family practice, the roles of medical schools and hospital systems, health care policy, rural obstetrics, and telemedicine. The concluding chapter summarizes the professional and personal lessons learned from the profiles and outlines the future of rural family practice.
