Goose Bay at Night

By P. Mark Fromberg MD

Ever wonder how young doctors acquire the experience--and confidence--needed to face life-and-death crises on a routine basis? This is the story of one such physician, newly graduated and thrust into a medical baptism by fire in the remote wilds of 1980s Labrador. Assigned to largely underserved Innu communities--an isolated region with no roads, profound health inequities, and significant cultural and language barriers--he confronts illness and injury at the very edge of modern medical care.
For critically ill patients in these outlying communities, the only lifeline is emergency evacuation in aging float planes. These flights are routinely complicated by dense fog, primitive avionics, brutal turbulence, oppressive engine roar, and severely limited medical equipment and supplies.
This story is a pulse-pounding account of survival--for both patients and doctor--that grips from take-off to final touchdown.
