Delightful, heartwarming tales from the North Woods

Delightful, heartwarming stories of northwoods rural medicine. Dr. MacDonald warmly describes his hearty patients who live on the edges of civilization. You'll meet a colorful cast who don't always see eye to eye with "modern" medicine, but have a great deal of respect for their country doctor, who many times, is having to figure things out on the fly. A Country Doctor's Chronicle reads like a mixture of James Herriot and Patrick McManus, with a healthy dose of self-depricating humor. Highly recommended for anyone in the medical field or anyone who likes human interest stories and is looking for some diversionary reading. Grade: A.
