<p>Dr. C. Lamont MacMillan had no idea of the life that awaited him when he began his medical practice in Baddeck, Cape Breton, in 1928. At that time it was more common for doctors to travel to their patients. As a result, navigating the rural landscape was often more difficult for these doctors than providing diagnoses. </p></p>In <i>Memoirs of a Cape Breton Doctor</i>, MacMillan relates over forty years of his memories and experiences as a travelling physician with warmth, wit, and a genuine love for the life he lived. He shares stories about his patients, his family, the beloved horses that carried him from home to home, the Maritimes' fickle weather, and the people that helped him through it. </p><p>The stories span over a century, and highlight MacMillan's own experiences as well as the recollections of the people he cared for until his retirement from medical practice. Entertaining and heartwarming, <i>Memoirs of a Cape Breton Doctor</i> is a classic of the genre.</p><p>Dr. C.
