Dr Margaret Smith has lived and worked in Perth
for nearly 40 years and is well known to several thousand women
whose babies she has delivered or whose hot flushes she has
treated.
Graduating in medicine in Adelaide over 50
years ago she has seen enormous changes in her profession and in
the acceptance of women doctors.
These memoirs tell of her journey in time and
place and may at times seem judgemental in comparing Now with Then
but it is, after all, just one woman's story.
There are some graphic stories of obstetric
difficulties, especially in New Guinea, and her own near-death
encounter, but these are leavened with much fun and laughter.
Philosophy, music and many magnificent friendships have made the
whole journey worthwhile and worth recording.
