Even in the most affluent country in the world there are many underserved population groups with limited or no access to health care. This article shares my experience with hand surgery volunteering with the Indian health service at Gallup, New Mexico and Chinle, Arizona. Although it has nuances with respect to logistics and challenges with regard to resources, the rewards of helping the patients in need has been among the best experiences of my career. I encourage anyone to consider domestic outreach because it reminds us of why we went to medical school.
即使在世界上最富裕的国家，也有许多未得到充分服务的人群，他们获得医疗保健的机会有限或根本没有。本文分享了我在新墨西哥州盖洛普和亚利桑那州钦勒为印第安卫生服务机构做手部手术志愿者的经历。尽管在后勤方面存在细微差别，在资源方面也面临挑战，但帮助有需要的患者所带来的回报一直是我职业生涯中最美好的经历之一。我鼓励任何人考虑参与国内医疗服务，因为这让我们想起当初为何进入医学院。
