White Doctor / The Rustle of Bamboo

~~~ originally published in 1957 "The Rustle of Bamboo"

Here is a hospital story with a difference, for it is set on a Burmese island where one white doctor and two nurses, with a native staff, waged a ceaseless war against tropical diseases, parasites and an utterly exhausting climate. Pat found it hard going in any case...but much more so when she fell in love with the doctor whose only feeling for her seemed to be intense irritation.

Hero: Mark Bradlaw
Heroine: Patricia Millay (Pat)
