    Bravo Again, Mr. Taylor!
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 3, 2012*

I've come to admire Patrick Taylor's Dr. Fingal O'Reilly in his later years as a gruff but soft-hearted county Doctor in Northern Ireland.  How refreshing to get this chance to look back into his past, to the early 1930s when, against the wishes of his academic father, he paid his way through Dublin's Trinity Medical School after serving in the Royal Navy.  The book captures O'Reilly's years of clinical instruction so well and underscores how primitive medicine at the time was.  Fingal and his fellow students faced diseases like tuberculosis, cancer, cirrhosis and heart failure with the most basic of treatments that often failed due to limited understanding of the disease pathophysiology and the even more limited availability of successful treatments, including the most basic of antibiotics that we sadly overuse today!  Complicating the situation is the condition of the city in which they practice.  Still reeling from the Irish Revolution, Dublin ismade up largely of impoverished neighborhoods where disease runs rampant because of the poor sanitation and the inability of its tenants to improve their lot in life.  The courses are grueling and aimed at hardening the students against the disease and death they will certainly encounter, but Fingal finds a way to distance himself while still caring for his patients, a lesson that becomes startlingly important when tragedy strikes his own family.  Through it all, he finds time to play rugby and court a beautiful young nurse, but Fingal must ultimately choose what is most important to him and sacrifice other things in life to make his dream a reality.Each of Taylor's Irish Country books has touched my heart and this is no exception.  I really enjoyed seeing Fingal as a young man and learning about the experiences that shaped him into the man we know now.  I was delighted to realize how similar he was as a young doctor to Barry, his assistant in Ballybucklebo.  I also liked learning about O'Reilly's early courtship of Kitty O'Hallorhan, for it gives real body to their current relationship and makes the reader realize how rich a history they share.  Some reviewers have commented on the "excess" of medical terminology, but a book about a medical student without these passages would certainly be an incomplete portrait.  Too, Taylor does a very good job of explaining the medical terms he uses with layman's language, making even the most obscure words clear.  I value the book most for making me grateful for the advances in medicine that have been made since Fingal's days in school.  How awful it must have been to feel unable to treat even the simplest infections - to watch patients die when you knew what was ailing them but just couldn't do anything about it.  How blessed we are to live in an age of antibiotics, MRIs, robotic surgery and so much more.  I was also touched by Fingal's interactions with his patients and the respect and care that he showed them.  That is what makes medicine so rewarding and it makes me, as a pathologist, regret just a tiny little bit that I don't have the chance to have that same interaction with people daily.  Though my work is rewarding, the life of a country doctor, with its close ties to patients and their families, is certainly made to look even more so by this book.  All in all, I can't say enough in praise of the book and I highly recommend it, especially to those in the medical profession or those considering a career in healthcare!  It will certainly bolster your resolve!

It is difficult to find an author who writes a series about small towns.  Love getting to know all the characters.
