I once visited Dr. Jan  in Konnarock in 1976. I had been her classmate at Indiana University School of Medicine where she was outstanding in every way. She was exceptionally nice, caring and thoughtful.And a top student!  At Konnarock she  filled a great need. She was the only medical and health care there, but she could do it! (She could do anything) She did just one year of training after medical school. Today no one is allowed to do less than three. She went to Konnarock. That took great confidence and courage.  She told us of how she wanted her husband to deliver her baby. This was,  of course, not permitted at the area hospitals. Konnarock was definitely not the place to be if there were unexpected complications of a home delivery. So they went to a city where she had been getting prenatal care and checked into a motel. And what a "surprise."  The baby came suddenly  and Bill had to do the delivery as she had coached him. They then went to the hospital for  postpartum and newborn care. I believe it was their first child.  Everything went well, of course. Few motels have had planned unplanned  baby deliveries.
