Another doctor is stepping up and implementing the chickens for checkups model.
“The first week we got five chickens, we got a turkey,” said Dr. House.
It is modern day medicine using an older type of payment system.
“I’m looking forward to lots of interesting things that people want to barter,” said Dr. House.
“That you can take something that you made and trade it for medical care is just mind blowing,” said Patient Stacey Quayle.
Quayle is a pastry chef who owns her own business. She trades her baked goods for doctor visits for herself and her three children.
“There are probably times that I would just not go to the doctor that I would not go to the doctor for me but with this barter clinic I can,” said Quayle.
Dr. House opened his office in Bono in August.
