Short description
Gweneth Wisewould To my fellow medical practitioners: - To the very young doctors who know everything, To the very old doctors who know nothing, And all those in between who bear the burden of the health of a nation, For I have been all of them.Extended description
Gweneth Wisewould had no direct descendents of her own but her local community was as important to her as a family. The community deeply valued and respected her. She was “The Doctor” for over 30 years. This book recounts her historical view of the people, their lives and illnesses, the beauty and ferocity of the local environment and great difficulties being the sole doctor practising in all weathers and harsh conditions. Her material possesions only had value to serve the purpose for which they were intended. “Outpost” exposes her great sense of compassion and strength of character in pursuing her own life on her terms. She lived by Ralph Waldo Emerson’s dictum; the whole adventure has been so very well “worth while.”Tags
