HIGH POINT, NC - Dr. Samuel Taylor Bickley passed away peacefully in his home in High Point, North Carolina, on February 11, 2021.
Dr. Bickley was a trained medical doctor and veterinarian; he was known to friends as the doctor who could treat anything from goldfish up. In Elkin, his office sported a large sign that read, WALK IN DOCTOR MAN OR BEAST. Helping those in need, whether human or animal, was his life-long purpose and in doing so, he built strong bonds with countless friends and former patients.
He was born February 25, 1931 in Johnson City, Tennessee to Lucy Claire Gray Bickley, a teacher at Gray School, and Jonathan Taylor Bickley, who worked for the Tennessee Valley Authority. Dr. Bickley was educated in the Washington County, Tennessee public schools, where he finished as Salutatorian. He attended East Tennessee State University for his undergraduate work, then transferred to and graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville with a major in agriculture. F

March 15, 2021, 12:55 p.m. David Mitchell For the second year in a row, the COVID-19 pandemic will force most fourth-year medical students to celebrate Match Day virtually. Although the gatherings may be smaller and online, some things won’t change.
“I want to remember the people who helped me get here and who will be part of my life no matter where I go,” said Hannah Smith, a fourth-year student at East Carolina University’s Brody School of Medicine in Greenville, N.C.
For Smith, that includes Charles Rhodes, M.D., a family physician from Mt. Pleasant, N.C., who has been her mentor for nearly a decade.
Bill lifting rules on nurses could make NC health care cheaper. Will it pass this year? Will Doran, The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)
Mar. 13 RALEIGH A bipartisan group of state lawmakers has teamed up with advocates for nurses, rural communities and regulatory reform to file a bill they say will make health care both cheaper and more widely available in North Carolina.
It s the 2021 version of the SAVE Act, which has been filed in past years and defeated by opposition from groups representing doctors. The bill would allow specially trained nurses to perform more medical duties, without having to be supervised by a doctor.
