About the Author
Douglas M. Gebbie graduated in medicine from the University of Glasgow. After working in several hospitals, he joined the Royal Navy. Following his discharge, he married Anne, a nurse, and together they began their family in Glasgow before emigrating to Canada.
Gebbie practiced as a general practitioner in a remote Newfoundland outport under a government contract, where his daughter was born in Gander. He later settled in Brampton, Ontario, and after six years there, chose to specialize in anesthesiology. He completed three years of training and worked at a University teaching hospital in Toronto.
His career later took him to Cincinnati, where he practiced for twenty years before retiring to Naples, Florida. Throughout his life, Gebbie has experienced both profound joy and deep personal loss, which have shaped his perspective and empathy as a physician and author. His wife, Anne, passed away four years ago.
