A Doctor of the Old School — Volume 2

"A Doctor of the Old School — Volume 2" by Ian Maclaren is a continuation of a late 19th-century story, probably written during a time of close-knit communities, centered around the compassionate country doctor, William MacLure. This volume explores themes of love, death, and the difficulties faced by people in rural areas. Dr. MacLure confronts a particularly sad case involving Annie Mitchell, whose serious illness deeply impacts her husband, Tammas, and their community. The story shows Tammas' struggle with grief and the doctor's dedication as he does everything he can to help Annie, even arranging for a top surgeon at risk to himself. The book shows both the struggles against sickness and the strong emotional connections between people, emphasizing the power of love and community during hard times.
