[From isolation to opening: the evolution of the practice of medicine in the canton of Jura. II. Medicine in the past].
Medical practise between 1920 and 1940 was exerted by family physicians basing on clinics. Patients seldom came to the doctors office. Home calls were the rule. This often implied long journeys, sometimes by foot or on skis. Therapy was extremely simple. Surgery was exercised under precarious conditions. The characters of some physicians were quite original. Friendly relations to large families treated by the same doctor sometimes for generations characterize these two decades barely 50 years back.
