Abstract

The RHI presents the reflections of a rural GP, the late Dr DH Girdwood, written in his retirement a few years ago. Dr. DH Girdwood was a general practitioner who had his practice in BedJord, Eastern Cape, front 1949 until he retired in 1983. He passed away in July 2001 and permission to publish these memoirs was obtained from his son, Dr. AH Girdwood, who is a gastroenterologist practising in Pinelands. It provides a fascinating account of the experiences of a rural doctor, in the South African context. These reflections have been artificially divided into 4 parts. We welcome similar reflections on past experiences from other readers.
