The Surprising Lives of Small-Town Doctors

From igloo house calls to bandaging animal bites to performing surgeries they are ill equipped to do, the accounts in The Surprising Lives of Small-Town Doctors show the many rewards of practising medicine in isolated communities.
In The Surprising Lives of Small-Town Doctors, physicians put down their stethoscopes and pick up their pens to share some of the most frightening and pivotal moments of their careers. From making igloo house calls to bandaging animal bites to performing surgeries they may have only read about in textbooks, these young doctors speak of the many rewards of practising medicine in small communities. They also detail the fears, failures, and challenges of providing health care in the farthest reaches of our country--where the need for doctors is the greatest. Collectively, these stories capture the spirit, innovation, and resilience of these rural doctors and the communities they serve.
