The story

The Country Doctor is set in a remote area of Quebec, Canada. The country doctor John Luke is an unlicensed general practitioner who cares for the residents of a small Canadian timber station taking much of his payment in barter. Having spent years operating from the station and from his own dwelling, and following a particularly bad epidemic of diphtheria in which several children die, the doctor decides to travel to Montreal to speak with the medical managing director of the region.
