"For several weeks a year, over three decades, Dr John Burgess worked as a consulting cardiologist in Canada's North, a primary witness to rapidly changing disease patterns among the Inuit as a Western lifestyle became more prevalent. His services to the Inuit, as well as his teaching and research at McGill University, earned him the honour of the Order of Canada." "Burgess's remarkable career is chronicled in Doctor to the North, from the early influence of his physician father, to his medical training at McGill, in the US, and abroad, to his eventual position as professor of medicine and director of cardiology at Montreal General Hospital. Through first-hand accounts of his experience with Inuit patients, he describes a broad spectrum of heart diseases and discusses how they can be prevented." "Doctor to the North provides unique insight into the making of a heart specialist, researcher, and teacher. It also serves as a history of health care and heart disease in the Canadian Inuit and a cardiology treatise for present and future health care workers." --Résumé de l'éditeur.
