| Summary | "A Labrador Doctor" by Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell is an autobiography written in the early 20th century. It chronicles the life and experiences of Wilfred Grenfell, a physician who dedicated his career to serving the communities of the Labrador coast and northern Newfoundland. The narrative likely explores Grenfell's personal journey, showcasing his adventures, challenges, and the impact of his medical work in a remote, rugged environment. The opening of the autobiography introduces Grenfell's early days, beginning with his birth in England in 1865. He reflects on his childhood experiences, highlighting his fascination with nature and the seafaring life that surrounded him. Describing vivid childhood adventures along the coastal sands, Grenfell sets the stage for the formative experiences that shaped his character. He recalls pivotal moments from his youth, such as a gripping encounter with a blizzard that took a young fisherman’s life, and his diverse familial background that combined influences from both England and India. Through these early reflections, the reader gains insight into Grenfell's adventurous spirit and the compassionate ethos that ultimately propelled him into a life devoted to the medical needs of isolated communities.
