The Doctors Wostrel

Both Dr. Wostrel and Dr. Wostrel hold M.D. degrees from the overly expensive Ross University School of Medicine. It was at medical school that Dr. Wostrel tricked Dr. Wostrel into marrying the other; and vice versa. They now enjoy teasing each other over this fact. :) Both agree the trickery has paid off when their little girl, Havalah, was born. Havalah has now been joined by two brothers, Hazaiah and Hezekiah.

Dr. Lyman Wostrel is originally from a farm/ranch in Nebraska. He received Dual degrees from the University of Nebraska ages ago; one in Economics and the other in Finance. While receiving these degrees, he also wasted much time in Lincoln on his unfinished computer engineering degree. After university attempted to remove that good farm work ethic, he recovered, and went to work in the Stock Market for several years. His work in the stock market led him to, early on, learn about the revolution about to begin in fracking in the mid 2000s, so he left to make his fortune in the oil industry, first as an engineer and then supervisor. He then proceeded to prove his Econ and Finance degrees were worthless by attending medical school and ramen noodles were returned to his diet while inflated tuition emptied his bank account! After experiencing the horrors of modern medicine in Residency, both for patients and doctors; he and his wife moved to rural Mount Vernon to join the growing Direct Primary Care movement by starting Zion Asher Family Physicians. He has been proudly serving under assistant physician laws for Missouri since 2018. Doctor Lyman speaks nationally on innovative solutions to the way doctors are trained via apprenticeship and has been advocating at both a state and national government level for these changes. Dr. Lyman Wostrel longs for the day when you never get sick and nobody ever dies so that he can return to what he loved as a boy, mowing hay.

Dr. Lauren Wostrel is originally from North Texas where she was immunized against socialism and communism by the great common sense present in the state. After graduating, the valedictorian went to Central Christian College to play basketball on scholarship. She also studied occasionally, and got a degree in Natural Sciences. Having not been warned that the other Doctor Wostrel was attending the overrated & overly expensive Ross University School of Medicine, she accepted admission and received her M.D. degree. While in the plastic straw banning state of California with her husband, she too, got to experience first hand the horrors of Residency and a blind medical system. Leaving that nonsense early, she is joining her husband in forming Zion Asher Family Physicians and proving that compassion and sweetness can still exist in a doctor despite the best efforts of medical school/residency ‘training’ to remove it! She has been proudly serving under assistant physician laws for Missouri since 2018. Dr. Lauren has tirelessly helped her husband in his efforts of advocating for apprentice training solutions to the national doctor shortage. In this process, she has grown more and more fond of moving to a cabin in the middle of nowhere and becoming an off grid prepper!
