Question about medical clinics

seren_ccdOh, all-knowing friends-list, I have a question. Actually, I have two questions.
1. If you have a small town of roughly 2,000 people, would it be possible for them to only have a smallish medical practice of say, four nurses, one permanent MD, and one part-time MD? Said town is located fairly close to a larger town with a hospital, so it wouldn't take too long to reach it in an emergency. Does that amount of staff sound reasonable? Perhaps they have some visiting consultants?
2. In said clinic, would it be reasonable for them to have x-ray equipment and the supplies to handle broken bones? Nothing complicated or anything that required surgery, but just the basics to tide someone over until they could get to a large hospital the following day?
Thank you!!!
