50 Years a Country DoctorIn a world of HMOs, insurance companies, and an endless flood of forms, Hull Cook reminds us that there was a time when a visit to the doctor's office cost three dollars and doctors still made house calls.

In a world of HMOs, insurance companies, and an endless flood of forms, Hull Cook reminds us that there was a time when a visit to the doctor's office cost three dollars and doctors still made house calls. Cook recounts fifty years of service as a rural doctor in Texas and Nebraska, where a wide spectrum of dilemmas tested his resourcefulness, endurance, and sense of humor. He describes helping to deliver a baby via telephone during the Blizzard of '49, and he explains his "special delivery" of medication in the dead of winter--an operation involving his Beechcraft Bonanza airplane and a parachute jerry-rigged from dental floss and a red handkerchief. Cook saw it all, from cow-manure poultices to snakebite to kerosene poisoning to drug addiction. His humorous account of life in the first half of the twentieth century conveys a distinct sense of the slings and arrows of doctoring on the plains.Binding Type: Paperback

Better than rechargeable
Color: Graphite
Easy Bluetooth connection and up and running with ease. Buying everything rechargeable, wasn't thrilled to see a replaceable battery until I found the battery was a simple AA battery and when using, simple battery replacement was faster than stopping to recharge. Good quality, compact and works.

Budget-Friendly Mouse
Color: Graphite
The Logitech M196 Bluetooth Wireless Mouse is a solid budget-friendly option that gets the job done. Setup was quick and easy, and the Bluetooth connection has been reliable. It's comfortable enough for everyday use, and the battery life is good. While it doesn't have premium features or an advanced design, it's a dependable mouse at an affordable price. If you're looking for a basic wireless mouse without spending a lot, this is a good choice.

⚠️PLEASE READ⚠️
Color: White
This mouse is great but, if you were planning on hooking it up to an iPad or tablet or some kind it will work but, if you’re trying to play a game or something it’s not the best like if you’re trying to play Roblox I doesn’t work because Roblox doesn’t support keyboard and mouse on iOS. BENEFITS this mouse is lightweight, it’s very easy to hook up to devices, it’s very comfortable and smooth but, it’s a little small for me but besides that it’s GREAT. The mouse also looks clean and professional if you’re ever trying to brag😂. It’s also very compatible with all the devices I’ve tried I hope this review was helpful.

Great bluetooth mouse, easy connectivity and long battery life
Color: Graphite
I really do like this mouse, the price is great, the bluetooth connection is a great newer technology that I love, so nice not to have to worry about a dongle that can get lost, or can occupy a USB port you need for something else! This connects quickly and easily, does NOT take hardly any time to wake up (like some wireless mouse!), and is reliable. It's also fantastic this does not require charging and apparently the battery lasts like a year? So great. Only down side, the reason for 4 stars is the click is pretty loud. My old mouse had a lot of problems that were solved by this one but the click was very quiet so the sound of this one can be annoying.

Stopped Working
Color: White
Awesome little mouse that works great with my MacBook. I will say that the battery only lasted 6 months, not a year, but that's not a deal breaker for me. This is still a 5-star product. Smooth scrolling, comfortable in my hand, no glitchy-ness or functional issues at all. Thanks Logitech.
