'The Nurse at Baker Hospital' uncovers a medical scam

Jocelyn Cullity’s new novel, "The Nurse at Baker Hospital," is set in Eureka Springs, in the Ozarks, in 1939. The Great Depression has hit Arkansas hard, and especially Eureka Springs, which had been an expensive resort, a spa where wealthy patients went for the waters and the fresh air. But now, it is a boomtown gone bust. The biggest hotel there has been converted to a hospital, specializing in cancer treatment. The Baker Hospital has no modesty about its achievements. A huge banner hangs outside announcing “Cancer Is Conquered.” It is always a good idea to be skeptical of premature declarations of “Mission accomplished.” But the hospital PR people and Norman Baker, the self-proclaimed genius and director, are confident and contemptuous of treatments for cancer other than theirs. Baker has a high-wattage radio program like that of the anti-Semitic, pro-fascist radio priest Father Charles Coughlin who, at his height, had 30 million listeners out of an American population of 120 million.

This Arkansas Town Is So Charmingly Odd You’ll Fall For It Before You Park The Car

A town of 67 people sounds like it should take about four minutes to see. Yet this one sits right where a river meets a lake, deep in the Ozark Mountains, and it has a way of making a quick stop stretch into an afternoon. The 2020 census counted fewer residents than a typical school bus can carry twice over, which makes every detail here easy to notice.

The Best Classic Diners In Fort Smith, Arkansas For A Cheap Lunch

One Fort Smith diner serves pie for just 99 cents on Tuesdays. Another one never locks its doors, serving burgers and biscuits around the clock. I have a thing for places like that. I’m drawn to jukeboxes, counter stools, and menus that still treat chicken fried steak like a main event.

Falfurrias: Scenic Rooftop Views at the Global Campus Gateway

Outdoor dining has a Goldilocks and the Three Little Bears quality to it: you’re always trying to achieve a level of comfort that’s not too hot, not too cold, but just right. On my recent visit to Falfurrias, I hit the Goldilocks zone. On an unseasonably warm late October evening, the rooftop bar and restaurant at the AC Hotel was the perfect spot to catch up with a friend over appetizers and drinks while taking in a sweeping view of Bentonville and the Walmart global campus.
