Patients, young and old, delightful and difficult, and colleagues presented challenges to be met, both medical and otherwise. From a toddler with a mysterious illness, to a young rascal with a hook in his hand from poaching, a philandering colleague and an elderly lady who wanted to rewrite her will, I had to cope with them all - not to mention the arrival of modern technology.

Book Synopsis Reflections of a Country Doctor by : Jimmie L. Ashcraft
Download or read book Reflections of a Country Doctor written by Jimmie L. Ashcraft and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains my reflections upon my 26 years as an "old time" generalist family physician in rural America. It is merely a collection of stories that depict some of my many experiences over the years. The stories mirror those of many of my generalist colleagues who have experienced "the trenches" of rural primary care. My stories span the breadth and depth of the discipline of rural family medicine. Stories range from assisting mothers giving birth to caring for and comforting those at the end of life, from performing surgery to becoming involved in one's community, and from making house calls to providing emergency room care. Some are silly, some are sad, some are funny, and some may make you mad. JIMMIE ASHCRAFT, M.D. Doctor Ashcraft is a graduate of the University of Oregon Medical School. He was a member of the clinical staff of the University of Washington Medical School for 30 years. Doctor Ashcraft and his wife, Kay, live in Montana. They have three grown children and six grandchildren.

Book Synopsis Memoirs of a Cape Breton Doctor by : Carleton Lamont MacMillan
Download or read book Memoirs of a Cape Breton Doctor written by Carleton Lamont MacMillan and published by . This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. C. Lamont MacMillan had no idea of the life that awaited him when he began his medical practice in Baddeck, Cape Breton, in 1928. At that time it was more common for doctors to travel to their patients. As a result, navigating the rural landscape was often more difficult for these doctors than providing diagnoses. In Memoirs of a Cape Breton Doctor, MacMillan relates over forty years of his memories and experiences as a travelling physician with warmth, wit, and a genuine love for the life he lived. He shares stories about his patients, his family, the beloved horses that carried him from home to home, the Maritimes' fickle weather, and the people that helped him through it. The stories span over a century, and highlight MacMillan's own experiences as well as the recollections of the people he cared for until his retirement from medical practice. Entertaining and heartwarming, Memoirs of a Cape Breton Doctor is a classic of the genre.

Download or read book Munganga written by Edwin A. Harris and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is titled "MUNGANGA: The Memoirs of a Country doctor" for good reason. It records the years of planning and education of Edwin Harris who always wanted to be a doctor, and the life he chose in the wilds of deepest Africa. (MUNGANGA is an anglicized rendering of the Swahili word, mgunga, for doctor or healer.) In his early years of practice in Southern New Jersey, he actually was a country doctor. Starting out during the Great Depression of the '20's, when money was hard to come by, office visits were two dollars and house calls were three dollars. Many times patients were unable to even afford that and paid with chickens, or veggies...though many times the service was gratis. For young Edwin Harris, MD, the sick had to be cared for! This book details how he met his wife Gladys, and how the two agreed to follow God's leading to the Belgian Congo about 1930, with their family of three. There he set up another country practice for the local natives. His dispensary this time was a tent set up under a tree, with Gladys as his "trained" nurse when needed. Also his young son Dick (who co-wrote this book) was his dispensary aide, washing patients body sores with an antiseptic solution. A prime motive for going to Africa was Edwin's interest in leprosy which was a rampant disease in that part of Africa. While out in the Congo during that term in the early 1930's the Unevanglized African Mission (UAM) went broke and the Harris family was temporarily abandoned in darkest Africa. But their trust and faith in God provided a way out and back into civilization. And the rest is history.
Book Synopsis It's Probably Nothing by : Beach Conger
Download or read book It's Probably Nothing written by Beach Conger and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's Probably Nothing continues the tale woven by Dr. Beach Conger in his first book, Bag Balm and Duct Tape. This new collection sees Conger and his wife yearning for new challenges and relocating to the suburbs of Philadelphia after 25 years in mythical Dumster, Vermont. Conger gamely takes a job in a teaching hospital in the poorest part of the city and gets to experience urban bureaucratized medicine and its trials- a far cry from the more idiosyncratic and hands-on version he practiced in Vermont. After 5 years Conger and his wife move back to Dumster, where he rediscovers more about his patients' capacity to both cope and cherish one another than he expected. Each of the tightly constructed chapters is centered around a particular patient or particular theme in medicine. It's Probably Nothing is both funny and poignant, and showcases both Conger's irreverent view into medicine and his profound empathy for the characters he encounters along the way. His experience highlights how medicine-and problems with out current medical system-can remain the same and yet be vastly different across class, race, and region. Among the people the reader meets are urban drag queens, small-town farmers and other heroes, Vermont celebrities, and the occasional reclusive author.

Book Synopsis A Country Doctor's Notebook by : Mikhail Bulgakov
Download or read book A Country Doctor's Notebook written by Mikhail Bulgakov and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part autobiography, part fiction, this early work by the author of The Master and Margarita shows a master at the dawn of his craft, and a nation divided by centuries of unequal progress. In 1916 a 25-year-old, newly qualified doctor named Mikhail Bulgakov was posted to the remote Russian countryside. He brought to his position a diploma and a complete lack of field experience. And the challenges he faced didn’t end there: he was assigned to cover a vast and sprawling territory that was as yet unvisited by modern conveniences such as the motor car, the telephone, and electric lights. The stories in A Country Doctor’s Notebook are based on this two-year window in the life of the great modernist. Bulgakov candidly speaks of his own feelings of inadequacy, and warmly and wittily conjures episodes such as peasants applying medicine to their outer clothing rather than their skin, and finding himself charged with delivering a baby—having only read about the procedure in text books. Not yet marked by the dark fantasy of his later writing, this early work features a realistic and wonderfully engaging narrative voice—the voice, indeed, of twentieth century Russia’s greatest writer.
