A heartwarming, humorous memoir by a small-town doctor: “We could use a few thousand just like him” (Kirkus Reviews).

The four hundred townspeople of Ennis, Montana, needed a doctor. Ronald E. Losee, MD, stepped into the breach and became Doc.

Learning from his failures and rejoicing in his triumphs, he performed appendectomies on a rickety operating-room table, repaired fractured tibiae, and even amputated a leg with a hacksaw. After a two-year stint at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Losee returned to Montana to begin the work that gained him an international reputation.

This moving, funny account of his time there evokes the feel of small-town life, the day-to-day challenges of practicing medicine, and the pioneering spirit that still exists in the American West.
