ECONOMY/INCOME INEQUALITY: Lesia Crigger, 47, left, of Woodlawn, Va., who is hoping to get fitted for dentures, lights a cigarette while waiting with her sister, Rhonda Gravley, 52, of Galax, Va., in a car overnight for the opening of the Remote Area Medical event at dawn Friday, April 29, 2016 in Smyth County, Va. Hundreds of others also waited overnight. Gravley, who is attending for the first time, is also hoping to go the dental clinic. Neither have dental insurance and cannot afford to pay for it on their own. "I want all of my teeth pulled," says Gravley, "they're all hurting me." She ended up having several pulled by volunteer dentist Mark Copas. "I've done foreign volunteer missions before," says Copas, "but never domestic. These cases are just as bad as what I've seen in third world countries."
