Lewis J. Moorman, M.D., once told a patient who apologized for calling him out late at night, \"You must remember, I started with a team of Indian ponies twenty miles from a railroad.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Moorman's experiences run the gamut of human ills and situations--of childbirth in a barn loft, the \"faith healer\" who infected a whole community with an \"itch,\" the mother who was sure her child had a case of the \"go-backs.\" He tells of encounters with Indians who needed medical help; the horrifying effects of gunshot and knife wounds; and the spiritual response of patients stricken with tuberculosis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the literature of medical practice, Dr. Moorman's association with Old Billy, his horse, approaches near-classic proportions. Obtained as payment for a long-overdue medical bill, Old Billy had a balky disposition--until the good doctor decided to talk things over with him one day. What follows offers a rare account of the relationship between a man and his horse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePioneer Doctor \u003c\/i\u003estands as an entertaining and informative memoir, but its social and cultural significance is clear. For here is apparent a tremendous transformation as countless young physicians like Moorman went out from Louisville Medical College, covering the plains with horse-and-buggy doctors.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182336225539,"sku":"9780806148632","price":46.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/9310\/7359\/files\/8iwdJYajrs9780806148632.webp?v=1779303045","url":"https:\/\/annizon.com\/products\/pioneer-doctor-paperback","provider":"annizon.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
