. Along The Way By Emily Klllette C Duplin produced many doctors who stayed within the county to practice medicine, but there are some who have served in other parts of the state. Along the Way has been reviewing articles about physicians native to Duplin County or who have moved here to serve the area people. Hut in the case of Dr. Clifton L. Quinn of Beulaville, he set-up practice in l?noir County. The field of medicine is making major break throughs each day. In the time it takes a person to complete medical school, today, technology ' will have advanced almost to the point of making the graduate's textbooks outdated. Unlike earlier times, today's doctors have a great deal of resources available to help diagnose illnesses. And, unlike earl ier times, there are local hospitals to ; serve the county citizens. ? At the time Duplin General Hos "pital was being constructed and ^dedicated in Kenansville one of the j local natives was making plans to n disparaged as being ?" ugh" or "gamey." Yel, properly prepared venison is mild, lender and :delicious. One of ihe keys to enjoying g d venison is proper care of Ihe animal in ihe field. Since deer are never killed under packing-house conditions, special care is called for. The first step is proper field-dressing, a skill at which many hunters are adept. They know that it is important for deer to be field-dressed immediately after the animal is killed, and that the carcass should be hung to drain. The body cavity should also be propped open so body heat will escape. Once ihe deer if field-dressed, a dilemma often occurs. What is the besi way to reduce a field-dressed deer 10 packaged steaks and roasts? You can'i cart it down to a neigh borhood butcher and return for finished packages of meat a few days later because it is illegal for non inspected meat to be butchered pro fessionally. Besides, cutting up a deer is not like cutting up beef. The problem occurs with the fat, mem branes and connective tissues. Fat provides much of the flavor in any meat, but the fat in deer mea,t is very unstable and quickly turns rancid. "Diis rancid fat, which is often left on cpis of venison, is largely respon sible for the "gamey" taste that many people find distasteful. The connective tissues in deer meat also contract under heat, much more so itian in beef, which often makes vfenison tough. * So, what is the solution to these problems? The answer is to cut up ju>ur deer at home. Venison doesn't "marble" like domestic beef ? the fat is found on the outside of the muscle ? so it is easily trimmed and Amoved. With a little bit of atten ti, muscles can be separated as y appear on the bone. Mem firanes and tendons are also usually f]>und on the outside of the muscle, and are easily trimmed and re moved. It's a little more trouble, but fjie rewards of cutting up your deer ft home will be an ample supply of vis ually fat-free, tender cuts of meat that will be delicious in any recipe.
