| Summary | "A Doctor of the Old School — Volume 1" by Ian Maclaren is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores the life and work of a dedicated rural doctor in the fictional Scottish parish of Drumtochty. The story depicts the challenges and rewards of general practice in a rural setting, focusing on themes of community, health, and the resilience of both the doctor and the people he serves. The narrative centers around Dr. William MacLure, who is depicted as a selfless and compassionate physician devoted to his patients. He navigates the rugged landscape of the Scottish countryside, providing medical care without the luxuries of modern healthcare. The book illustrates his day-to-day life, characterized by encounters with various locals, their illnesses, and personal stories interwoven with the social fabric of the parish. Through vivid character sketches and anecdotes, Maclaren reveals the deep connection between the doctor and the community, emphasizing the importance of traditional values, the human condition, and the intertwining of life and medicine in a close-knit rural environment.
