[Father's medicine of the 40s].
A general practitioner practising from 1940 onwards on the Gruyère region describes visually his former task: permanence on call, daily journeys of 80 km for house calls, often on skis or by sleigh, surgery under most primitive conditions, serious decisions taken lonely, diphtheria-epidemics, frequent tuberculosis, penicillin as a major break-through, picturesque human encounters...A lively testimony of times gone by.
