Dr. Frau - Grace H. Kaiser / 9781561482160
A Woman Doctor Among the Amish.
Dr. Frau: A Woman Doctor Among the Amish is a true and heartwarming account of Grace H. Kaiser's 28-year career as a family physician in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The book offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the closed communities of the Amish and Mennonites (also known as the "Plain People").
A large part of the stories concerns Kaiser's experiences with home births on remote farms. She describes how she sometimes had to travel by sled through the snow to get to a patient on time. The title "Dr. Frau" is the name the Amish gave her; as a female doctor in a traditional male world, she had to earn their trust. She writes about the deep religious beliefs, the simple lifestyle, and the strong sense of community of her patients.
The book is known for its anecdotal style, comparable to the books of James Herriot. She shares both funny misunderstandings and touching moments of sadness and gratitude, such as receiving a duck as a token of appreciation. In short, it is not a medical handbook, but a collection of personal memoirs that show how an "outsider" became a respected and beloved part of a unique American subculture.
Review: A wonderful read. Insights into two cultures at a time when doctors took time to visit homes.
Review: One of my favorite books. A must read for all nurses and anyone else interested in county public health and child birth. It may change your point of view on what quality of life means.
