true tales of an immigrant doctor - a great book !

This autobiography recounts the life and adventures of a British doctorwho decides to do his residency in America and decides to stay.The book focuses on the daily joys and little tales of a resident in a hospital, and later of the doctor and his doctor-wife working in rural America. It also gives a detailed look at how medical practice was different in the post-war era. In some sense it reminded me of "A little house on the prarie", in another it is also the story of an immigrant who has to make his life with the little he had at the time. The book ends on a very unexpected note - an intriguing twist that lingered in my head long after I had put the book down.
