The stories celebrate that time in America considered to be the golden age of generalism in medicine---a time that conjures up Norman Rockwell's familiar archetypal images of the country family doctor and a time when the art of healing was at its zenith.Physicians (General practice)IndianaAnecdotesPhysiciansIndianaBiographyMedicine, RuralIndianaAnecdotesIndianaBiographyElectronic books.Physicians (General practice)PhysiciansMedicine, Rural610.92Feldman Richard D.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464492503321Family practice stories1996341UNINA
