The Annals of a Country Doctor

By: Carl Matlock MD

Narrated by: David A. Conatser

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a country doctor in solo practice in the decade of the '70s - making house calls, delivering babies, comforting the dying, offering hope to the hopeless, meeting delightful and sometimes eccentric patients, and working 60 to 80 hours per week, often exhausted and in need of rest? If so, follow me as I work in a small town office and make hospital rounds in rural Indiana as a family physician. You're unlikely to forget the experiences or regret the sharing.

Overall Reaction

An accurate description of rural practice, though the occasional mispronunciation of medical terms was distracting.

Excellent!

This book displays excellent storytelling by a physician in my neck of the woods. Well done, Doctor!

A Country Doctor

At first I thought it would be interesting, but I found it wasn’t my cup of tea.

Better narrator would have added so much more..

I honestly couldn’t get past the whining voice of the narrator for every single women’s voice to even enjoy the story line! Even the nurses in the book were made to sound like they were whining and had a low IQ. Very sad….

The story itself might be a nice read but I had to stop listening to it.
