Move over TV medical dramas! Moving Mountains is the real-life story of Idaho's first nurse practitioner, Marie Osborn. In 1971, Marie founded an emergency clinic in rugged Sawtooth-Salmon River country, covering 6,000 square miles on 24/7 call. Moving Mountains tracks development of rural medicine, emergency services, and breaking the glass ceiling of male-dominated medicine. Time and again Marie survived conflicts with professional boards, legislatures, the insurance industry, and bitter Idaho winters - all at significant personal cost. For those interested in the origins of Nurse Practitioners, and to understand contemporary rural medicine issues, this heartwarming memoir breaks a trail so others may follow.
