The man is as great as his book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Doc Losee was my family doctor growing up in Ennis, Montana- my brother's birth is mentioned briefly in the book. He was and is the best country doctor, with brains and skill and heart and humor- a true straight shooter. I am so proud to know him and his wife Olive.
Neat doctor; good book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This was an excellent book and would like to have this man as my doctor. He gave an excellent picture of what doctoring was like in a small town, what his philosophy of being a doctor is and his criticism of non doctors making doctor decisions. He is critical of law suits and the problems of liability insurance costs that he could not afford. He is down to earth and not afraid to say that mistakes can and are made. Some medical terms might slow someone not familiar with them.
A Glimpse Into The Life Of A Doctor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a wonderful heart filled story of what it was like being a doctor when you had very little supplies, but a whole lot of heart!! It is a book that will hold a place on honor in my library, not only because I have met the author, but mainly because it is a part of our country's heritage. Dr. Losee's stories are told so that you can picture them in your mind and see what it was like to be in that era. Some make you laugh, others make you cry. I compare his writing to that of James Harriot; both writers make you feel like you are there with them.
Wonderful memoir of what medicine used to be about.

Doc Losee writes in a wonderfully refreshing style that brings the reader into an inevitable friendship with him. Medicine may never be like this again, but Doc has left a record of what is once was. The day I finished this book I wrote a letter to Doc Losee, and imagine my surprise when less than a week later, I received a personal note back from him. I have it on my wall in my study to remind me of this beautiful little book written by the Yale-educated country doctor
