About this book

A country doctor who distrusts new instruments can still earn the confidence of an entire district. In the opening story of Arthur Conan Doyle's medical collection, a younger physician remembers Dr. James Winter first as a frightening presence in childhood, then as a gentle companion through illness. His old methods and practical skill raise a question about how scientific progress and personal care fit together.

The stories move between professional experience and unsettling situations. In the middle excerpt, surgeon Douglas Stone travels through a stormy London night to attend a patient in a shabby house near Euston Road. Doyle's preface explains his interest in the courage, affection and suffering that doctors encounter.
