| "Those who can remember a time when house
calls were common will know there was something enormously reassuring
in the knowledge that ' the doctor is on his way!' With hindsight
we know there may have been a lot he didn't understand, but his
medial kit, his long experience and his bedside manner gave us
the confidence we needed to see us through. In this snow covered
farmyard we recall the results of such a visit; the relieved smile
of a concerned father, the eager helpfulness of an older son and
the gentle courtliness of a country doctor. It's early morning
and all is well." |
