While the inhabitants of TheWildWest were tougher than case-hardened nails, they still could get hurt and sick. So there was a need for doctors, and the FrontierDoctor came west to fill that need. The frontier doctor needed to be tough and resourceful, since supplies were scarce, and the latest equipment and medicines were seldom at hand. He'd often be called upon to travel long distances at any hour of the day or night, and might even treat sick animals if no veterinarian was handy (the opposite - [[OpenHeartDentistry veterinarian instead of a doctor]] - is usually PlayedForLaughs). The frontier doctor may be a [[Series/DrQuinnMedicineWoman woman]].

* FlyingDoctors: Cooper's Crossing isn't exactly a metropolis, and a lot of what the flying doctors do is in far more remote settings with even less equipment. And the homesteaders are just as ornery as the ones in TheWildWest.
