Mothers: The Cold Mothers don't have the funding to set up clinics everywhere, so in many borderline areas (like New Ozark) they recruit locals into training programs that are essentially nursing school, cram as much knowledge as they can into them, give them a basic medical kit and the number for a doctor hotline, and turn them loose. The 'little mothers' are often portrayed as bumbling, ignorant, and superstitious in popular culture, barely better than faith healers -- but the truth is that basic medical training can go a long way in certain circumstances, and the little mothers do a lot of good at a street level.
Also, since 'last month' is over three friggin' years ago in real time, this is why Alain got kicked out.
