BOB:  One time.
 
MARLA:  What was that like?
 
BOB:  It was nighttime.  Weather kind of worries you a lot.  I mean, sometimes when the doctor says you have to take them in, you have to go in.  You have to follow the patient there.
 
MARLA:  Do you remember what was wrong with the patient? 

BOB:  When the people -- pretty much when the people have seizures, you have to kind of watch them all the way so they won't bite their tongue or -- try to take care of them.  Seizures was one doctor told you to follow. 

MARLA:  Yeah.  Did the doctor come here? 

BOB:  They come here every -- every two, three months, yeah.  Because in those days, they have a lot of money from pipeline and oil.  And right now they have put in -- I mean, budget is kind of small. 

MARLA:  Yeah.  And do you remember which doctors would come up here? 

BOB:  Yeah. 

MARLA:  Who were they?
 
BOB:  Probably pick out -- hospital pick out which doctors should be taking care of Anaktuvuk or some other villages.  They got, I don't know, meeting, I guess, used to go to Anaktuvuk or how many villages do you have to take care of.

MARLA:  Who do you remember? 

BOB:  Well, I guess from Tanana used to be some doctor, Dr. Brown.  He was pointed -- appointed one to come up to take care of Anaktuvuk.  Not -- not -- not just every doctor that come in.  Sometimes they have meeting, I guess, before they couldn't come here, so they send other -- other doctor to take -- to take Anaktuvuk.
 
MARLA:  Hmm. 

BOB:  Right now we've got a Dr. Springer from Tanana Chiefs, Fairbanks. 
MARLA:  And how often does he come up?
 
BOB:  Pretty -- not much now because the budget.

MARLA:  Yeah. 

BOB:  Cut back down.  Used to be like every couple months or three.  Now they have to coming -- he's coming this winter, I guess, in November, next month.

MARLA:  Did you have Public Health nurses come here?
 
BOB:  Yeah.  Every -- whenever they need to come, giving shots.
 
MARLA:  Then did you learn how to give shots --

BOB:  Oh, yeah. 

MARLA:  -- as well? 

BOB:  Oh, yeah, I give lots of patients shots.  

MARLA:  Like immunizations or --

BOB:  Yeah.  That.  But they don't -- I mean, they don't have that much people, like right now.  I used to give shots, yeah. 

MARLA:  And was there -- were there other men who were community health aides when you were a health aide?
 
BOB:  Yes.  No.  There was Simon before me, but he -- I don't know how much training he get.  But I don't know. 

MARLA:  Were you mostly training with women or men when you would go to your trainings? 

BOB:  Huh? 

MARLA:  Were you mostly training with women or men when you would go to your trainings?
 
BOB:  Mostly woman was my -- was my teachers.  In Anchorage they have, I guess, nurse, authorized nurse or something, train people.  That's mostly government program. 

MARLA:  Hmm.  What -- what was that government program? 

BOB:  Well, it's a -- like BIA or mostly military -- military doctors, you know, that go -- that's where the -- before they become doctors, I guess they go -- the military doctors, most of them, I guess.  And then come there, they go on -- go on more school or something. 

MARLA:  Right.  Okay.
