Medical services are difficult to access
When you are used to the convenience of booking a doctor’s appointment and being seen right away, you might have difficulty adapting to the long wait times for medical care in rural towns. Going for specialist care, such as with a psychologist or psychiatrist, will leave you with far less choices, longer waiting times, and a fair way to travel in order to be seen. However, there are perks you should take into consideration before giving up on small-town life just yet.
i’ve lived in the rio grande valley, texas. its hot as blazes, but its very cheap to live here. san benito is 35,000 people and that’s big enough for me. of course there very little opportunity here, but i’m retired and can’t afford to live anywhere else. so i guess this is where i’m going to die. every place has its pluses and minuses……….there is no utopia……….bummer!
