To help fill eye-care shortages in rural Montana, this optometrist commutes by plane - Montana Public Radio

Incredible. There is no place in Ohio that is that rural or that underserved, but we had one of the first optometry schools in the country.
 
I may resort to this mode of practice years down the road. We have a dentist here that lives in Seattle 550 miles away and flies here. I live in my rural community but don't plan on living here forever. When the kids are done with school and I move south for more winter sunshine, I could see doing this if the need is there.
