Rural health care is complicated by small, isolated communities, limited resources and social stigmas around getting treatment. The pandemic has put these struggles in stark relief. Joey Traywick, a nurse with St. Vincent Healthcare in Billings, Montana, talks about his experiences. Also, Petra Mayer of NPR Books discusses book sales during the pandemic as well as a few of her favorite reads for the holiday season. That and more, in hour two of Here & Now's Dec. 4, 2020, full broadcast.
