">Dr. Carrol Frazier Landrum standing next his car, waiting to treat residents of Edwards, Mississippi</div></div>Dr. Carrol Frazier Landrum is an 88-year-old doctor who's been practicing for 55 years in Mississippi. He's known in the Edwards, Mississippi community for treating anyone who needs help, going so far as to drive to patient's houses, meeting them anywhere they are able, and for the last two years he's been treating some patients out of his car.

I try not to ever turn people away — money or no money – because that’s where the need is.”</blockquote>Ever since the Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure found out he was treating people out of his car, Dr. Landrum has been under investigation:<br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.4; "><blockquote style="margin-top: 1.2em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 20px; line-height: 1.4; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(246, 243, 236); border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-color: rgb(226, 226, 225); border-bottom-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(226, 226, 225); border-top-style: solid; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">At a recent hearing, Landrum said, he was labeled “incompetent” by the board. He said the charge is a catchall, one designed to avoid citing a specific occupational violation, and he maintains he’s done nothing wrong. He said he doesn’t recruit patients and only responds to those who have nowhere else to turn.</blockquote>Despite the pressure to surrender his license, <a href="http://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2015/01/15/toyota-doctor/21802255/" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.4; color: rgb(229, 114, 30); text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; ">he's not going down without a fight:</a><br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.4; "><blockquote style="margin-top: 1.2em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 20px; line-height: 1.4; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(246, 243, 236); border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-color: rgb(226, 226, 225); border-bottom-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(226, 226, 225); border-top-style: solid; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">"I'm not the kind of person to give up very easily, especially if I know I'm right," Landrum said.
