“I drive through bumpy dirt roads, cross rivers and climb mountains out to isolated homes, sometimes without electricity. Whenever I feel myself get stressed, as I drive through a tropical rainstorm or thick mountain fog to reach a laboring woman, I think of Mary Breckinridge on her horse and remember that I am a Frontier Midwife!”
