About this book
A Labrador Doctor is the autobiography of Sir Wilfred Grenfell, the English physician who spent his life bringing medicine to the fishing families of Newfoundland and Labrador. He tells how a sermon by Dwight Moody turned him toward missionary work, how he sailed the cold northern coast in a hospital ship, and how he built clinics, orphanages, and cooperative stores for people the wider world had forgotten. The book mixes hard travel across ice and storm with plain reflection on faith and service. One famous chapter recounts the day he was carried out to sea on a breaking ice pan and survived only by killing his sled dogs for warmth.
