Coming to Texas: A Newly Qualified Scottish Physician Arrives in the Lone Star State in 1960 and Becomes a Country Doctor

Once started I found it almost impossible to set this book aside to carry out other tasks. Eric's story is indicative of the outstanding achievements by pioneering Scotsmen practising medicine in most trying conditions. His anecdotes are both humorous and tragic, and warmly told. It is clear that he and his wife Margaret became well-beloved within the community they served, which in turn received the caring attention at the hands of a young medic at the outset of his career as a country doctor.
