"I worked long hours, made house calls, went out with the ambulance and flew to remote accident sites, sometimes receiving payment in-kind: hinds of beef, lamb and moose, bags of potatoes and turnips and on one occasion, a big game guide brought me a four-point buck in payment for delivering his first son, leaving the dressed carcass in the centre of my waiting room." In this second collection of short stories, Haynes shares honest and raw insight into doctoring in small-town North America.
