Die Geneesheer se vrou: 'n Dilemma! - The wife of the doctor: a Dilemma!

  • Prof Martin van Vuuren Universiteit van die Oranje Vrystaat

Abstract

"You physicians are a group apart. You are a strange race. The wife of a physician should I be as different from other women as her husband is different from other men". "It may be that doctors need a woman's guidance and companionship more than other men. Happiness comes to them as a reward, secondarily. There are other urges than the pursuit of happiness that keep them going. But what can a physician do? For no woman would marry him if she were in her right mind" W Penfield.
