He still had trained nurses under him; and if a case was beyond him there were specialists with whom he could consult. Here he was single-handed. He was physician and surgeon and specialist and nurse in one. He had few appliances and no assistant beside naked and primeval nature, the vast high spaces, the clean waters and clean air of the moors.
