It&#39;s a busy morning, and Dr. Rogelio Fernandez is seeing patients one right after the other. At this moment, he&#39;s treating 35 year old Yesenia Campuzano of Reedley. The birth control implant in her arm caused acne, so Dr. Fernandez is surgically removing the tiny, tube-like device. She&#39;s feeling the incision, so she needs more of the local anesthetic.</p> Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:18:19 +0000 Shellie Branco 712 at http://kvpr.org Doctor Shortage Hits Rural California
