Naples, FL Author Publishes Memoir

By: PR Leap
(PRLeap.com) A Medical Year in Newfoundland, a new book by Douglas M. Gebbie, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

After deciding to leave temperate Scotland to become a physician in Newfoundland, Douglas M. Gebbie and his wife Anne embark on a journey across the pond to parts unknown. In this gripping and highly entertaining memoir, Gebbie recounts what it was like practicing medicine on the very border of civilization. With the province covered in a blanket of indomitable snow, Dr. Gebbie must adapt quickly to the Newfy way of doing things, from making house calls via snowshoes and sleds, to delivering babies without the technological support of a hospital. Outport Living perfectly paints a portrait of life in Newfoundland in the 1950s, with gas stoves and hand-crank generators, a good dose of local vernacular, and a ton of rugged bravery!
