R.A.M: Remote Area Medical

KNOXVILLE, TN - JANUARY 31: Teeth extracted from a patient in the dental care area at the makeshift hospital with almost assembly-line precision, 904 teeth will be pulled here in two days on January 31, 2009 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Thousands of uninsured and underinsured Americans are treated every year for free in makeshift field hospitals operated by the Remote Area Medical Volunteer Corps. A small army of volunteer health-care professionals offers medical attention to patients who are not likely to see another doctor or dentist all year. The clinics saves lives and alleviates suffering, but in the face of a growing national health-care crisis, it may not be enough. (Photo by Jonathan Torgovnik/Getty Images)
