Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confessions of an English Doctor Allow me to give a few thumb-nail sketches of myself and a few friends. I went to Edinburgh to study medicine, after being coached specially for the preliminary examination. I did not feel in the least inclined to become a model student: I was to some extent interested in the subjects which I had to study, but I occupied myself with so many things in general that I could never approach anywhere near the exemplary. Indeed, I always looked upon an exemplary student as a most uninteresting narrow-minded, and one-sided specimen of humanity. I attended nearly all lectures, it is true, partly because I was interested, but also because I felt I ought to do so; but I was not inclined to spend much time over medical books. I liked to be left alone to study anything I chose; and what I liked best of all were "the affairs of men." In my early student days I found so many opportunities for learning everything, including just a little medicine and surgery, that life in Edinburgh was to me most entrancing. Almost every pursuit appeared to be within my reach in this wonderful city. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Doctor's Confession It has been the author's intention to present facts and relate incidents with a view to promoting a better understand ing between the physician and the laity, as well as to furnish entertainment and amusement for the general reader. A greater degree of justice would obtain if the people had a more accurate knowledge of what may reasonably be expected of the physician. It should be understood that there are some things about human ailments and their cure that the medical profession know, and some things they do not know; but the training of the masses has been such as to make it detrimental to a physician's reputation and business if he acknowledge ignorance concerning a case he may have under his care. This puts the honest, though well qualified physi cian, at a disadvantage and encourages deception. Advice is sometimes worth more than medicine, and very often is all that is necessary.

Assume, as to her malady; but I soon discovered, by the indifferent manner in which she answered me, that she had little faith in any remedy that medical skill could suggest. I found, however, that she laboured under extreme nervous irritability; and, having prescribed such medicines as I deemed proper, I took my leave. I was followed down the stairs by Mrs. Downing, a lady who appeared to possess the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, and to be most affectionately attached to her daughter; con cerning whose complaint she anxiously inquired my opinion. I requested leave to suspend my judgment until I had made another visit, which I proposed to do on the following day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from More About the Doctor When The Doctor was first launched on the troubled waters of literature, I prayed that my mere snow flake on the river might make an easy and quick port; that some one might read of this good man and feel helped, but that it should have got the world-wide welcome it has got certainly never entered the heads of any of us who were connected with the launching of this small barque. The new series is just a handful of stories I have te-told. No one is more conscious of their scrappiness than myself, but perhaps my readers will be charitable, as the original would have been, and will see that there are certain dear, intimate and lovely things I could not set down. All that need be said is that in life, so inthe unseen as a conqueror, dying as he had lived, with the high. Courage which was always his. There are blithe tales, too, which we would gladly have passed on., Gay stories, which lshow that the Peter Pan spirit ever lived in the Doctor. In all that was lovely and young, he never changed. The years only gave him a riper judgment, a wider sympathy they never robbed him of his joyous youth. Has your mother any pickled missionary for tea he once asked a small boy whom I know rather well. No, said the child, feeling that his mother was rather remiss. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctor His friendship enriched my life, and gladdened my heart, and has left an abiding memory at once gracious, tender, and gladsome. One cannot recall the Doctor without a smile creeping into one's eyes. Coming to our house as he did at a time when the shadow of illness lay on it, his is a tender and an especially warm place in our hearts. What I he would say in pretended amazement, when I would tell him of the invalid's improvement. He's not dead yet! He's a fraud, a malingerer! I'll report him to the Presbytery! But at evening prayers, how'be would pour forth thanks to the great Father God for restoring health and courage, and how near we felt the Unseen at such moments So, with laughter and with tears (and arethey not tw1n Sisters friendship grew closer and closer. His views of God were like himself, great and spacious. Money, he cried one day, it's just God's gift to His children who can't understand anything better. He gives them money to play with, just as we give little children ha'pennies to please them. But to His own dear children, He gives His great gifts, wisdom and understanding so that they see wondrous things out of His law. These are the things that matter because they abide. A comforting thought in these days of materialism. So the Doctor rests from his labours but his works do follow him. In the Old Book he loved so well it is written The memory of the just is blessed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Surgeon's Log: Being Impressions of the Far East IT is almost eighteen months since the impressions here recorded first were offered to the public; and re-reading them now, after the interval, I am conscious that for me the first glad joy of it is over, I can never again recapture the shimmering golden glamour of it all. Indeed, looking back through the grey mist of England, I find myself tempted, with the wisdom or folly of later remembrance, to revise, rewrite, tone down some of the pictures that now seem too polychromatic in the retrospect. But I have refrained, feeling that thereby any value they may possess as truth would be mirror dimmed by the breathings of the later mood - their individuality would thus be lost. Nevertheless, I have yielded to temptation to this extent: so' many have written asking What became of them afterwards? That I have added a postscript to the original narrative telling what they thought of it all, and how they liked being put into a book. Nothing had pleased me more than the numerous letters I have received from doctors - young men writing eagerly to know if I could find them such a ship in which they might have such experiences, older men enquiring furtively, apologetically, if their grey hairs could possibly be overlooked so that they too might find themselves amid similar surroundings. Apparently romance dies hard, and so to all I have replied that, given the proper subjective attitude of mind, their pleasure under similar circumstances would be as great - for it is in ourselves, not in the events that occur to us that happiness is to be found.

My eyes had fol lowed the course of solitary drops rolling down the window panes, until my head ached. Toward nightfall I could distinguish a low, wailing tone, moaning through the air; a quiet prelude to a coming Change in the weather, which was foretold also by little rents in the thick mantle of cloud, which had shrouded the sky all day. The storm of rain was about to be succeeded by a storm of wind. Any change would be acceptable to me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Doctors Entre Nous By the time the Chairman and President of the Norris County Medical Society had reached his place of distinction at the center of the table and, with considerable dignity, sea-ted himself, the mem bers and guests were in their places. At his right, and sitting at the end of the table, was the female member of the Norris County Medical Society, and she evidently was also its recording secretary - a person of perhaps fifty odd and presenting a rather pleasing and decidedly better cared-for appearance than most of her fellow members. Why a woman wants to vote or be a doctor is generally pretty hard to understand. This lady, however, who seemed entirely feminine and amiable, gave no special outward evidence of why her natural womanly course had been deflected and why she had taken up the males' duties in this vicinity, until your glance passed over the males themselves; if she did it for that reason, then she was a noble woman.
