Feedback on Sunday's story on the house-call doctor Alice Inouye has been full of praise for the doctor who sees bedbound patients -- whether she gets paid for it or not.

Several readers have wanted to know how to make donations to Inouye's Jubilee Housecalls, which has not been reimbursed by Medicare during its five years in existence. Here's the mailing address:

Some have just called or written to share their own experience working with Inouye, such as this e-mail from Vinton reader Mary Zirkle:

Ms. Macy,

I want to thank you for introducing the Valley to Dr. Inouye. As my family searched for dwindling geriatric care options in Roanoke and Vinton for my 99 year old grandmother, we came upon Dr. Inouye, who was with us to the end last September. She was available literally 24 hours a day for help. She ministered to my family after my grandmother passed and was genuinely saddened by her passing. I know the only way Dr. Inouye can do the job she does and with such a compassionate spirit is because she has been given a gift from God.
Thanks again for bringing the sacrificial medical practice of Dr.
Inouye to light.

Sincerely,

Mary Zirkle
Vinton, VA

Eliza Yeatts, a 92-year-old widow in Franklin County, called to praise Inouye for her work in treating people who can't easily get out to the doctor. "She is doing a superb work," Yeatts said.
