Synopsis:

Montana country doctor and internationally known orthopedic surgeon Ron Losee describes his half-century career in medicine, highlighting his earliest years as a recent medical school graduate during which he built a humble log cabin practice. Reprint.

From the Inside Flap: , EARTHY, AND REFRESHINGLY CANDID . . . Losee is the family doctor you wish you had in your community."<br>--Library Journal<br>In 1949, Ron Losee, a young Yale Medical School graduate, headed west with his wife and small daughter to begin the practice of medicine. They settled in Ennis, Montana, in a log cabin that also became their office and lab. Patients made themselves at home in the living room. One small bag held all their medical equipment. It was a proud moment when a patient first called Losee "Doc." His fee on that occasion was three dollars.<br>In robust, freewheeling prose, Doc Losee--now internationally known for his work in orthopedic surgery--shares nearly half a century of dedicated doctoring, evoking the rich flavor of Montana and the dramatic dilemmas that never cease to haunt the country doctor. Exhilarating and entertaining, DOC is a moving reminder of what people--doctors and patients--can be and do. It's the perfect cure for what ails us. <br>"[Lo
