{"product_id":"pioneer-doctor","title":"Pioneer Doctor","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"A delightfully told story of the life of Dr. Moorman, of his patients, and of a changing time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Henry A. Christian, Harvard Medical College, in the Foreword\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePioneer Doctor is the story of half a century of medical practice, from the early days in Oklahoma Territory to metropolitan conditions today. Lewis J. Moorman, M.D., once told a patient who apologized for calling him out late at night, \"You must remember, I started with a team of Indian ponies twenty miles from a railroad.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoorman's experiences run the gamut of human ills and situations-of childbirth in a barn loft,  the \"faith healer\" who infected a whole community with an \"itch,\" the mother who was sure her child had a case of the \"go-backs.\" He tells of encounters with Indians who needed medical help; the horrifying effects of gunshot and knife wounds; and the spiritual response of patients stricken with tuberculosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the literature of medical practice, Dr. Moorman's association with Old Billy, his horse,  approaches near-classic proportions. Obtained as payment for a long overdue medical bill, Old Billy had a balky disposition-until the good doctor decided to talk things over with him one day. What follows offers a rare account of the relationship between a man and his horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePioneer Doctor stands as an entertaining and informative memoir, but its social and cultural significance is clear. For here is apparent a tremendous transformation as countless young physicians like Moorman went out from Louisville Medical College, covering the plains with horse and buggy doctors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLewis J. Moorman, M.D. (1875-1954) began practice in Oklahoma Territory as a horse and buggy doctor.  A worldwide authority on tuberculosis and former dean of the University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Moorman is the author of Tuberculosis and Genius.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52640442057071,"sku":"9780806148632","price":208.53,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0806148632.jpg?v=1770393386","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/pioneer-doctor","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
