The increasing gas prices are stealing money from our pockets, sometimes making it impossible to do day to day activities even getting to your doctor's office.

Doctor Thomas Lauderman of Doctor's Quick Care in Anmoore has patients who quit coming to his practice because they just couldn't afford the drive, so to make up for our four dollar and up gas prices he's filling their tanks.

Doctor Lauderman has patients coming all the way from Webster County.

When some of them had to choose between putting food on the table or gasoline he stepped in to help.

The office starting giving away free meds, but that still wasn't doing the trick.

Now those in need will get checks when they come for a visit.
