A Country Doctor's Chronicle is a charming collection of vignettes-some hopeful, some heartbreaking-that offer a unique look at a bygone era of twentieth-century rural America.
Roger A. MacDonald, M.D., was a rural physician from 1948 to 1980, when he became associate director of the Rural Physician Associate Program at the University of Minnesota Medical School. His first story collection, A Country Doctor—s Casebook, was published in 2001. Now retired, he divides his time between Grand Marais, Minnesota, and La Verne, California.
