I have to admit though, that my first thought on the story was:
"Why build the road? Just move to the city!"
In this case, I admire the endurance of this man and pity the destiny of his wife. But in general, the process of bringing more and more infrastructure to ever more remote place is what destroys the natural environment of this planet. I strongly believe in the efficiency of density and scale and that humanity should limit them self to cities. Leave the rest of the planet to other species!

It would have been easier to just build an hospital in his town..
What is a hospital with no doctors good for?

I don't like this sarcasm. If it wasn't, building a hospital has a lot more to do than to just build a building!
