"Dr. Grenfell's Parish: The Deep Sea Fisherman" by Norman Duncan is an account written in the early 20th century. The book sheds light on the work of Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, a dedicated physician on the Newfoundland and Labrador coasts, as he provides much-needed medical care to the isolated fishermen and their families living in harsh conditions. Through Grenfell's experiences, the narrative explores themes of sacrifice, devotion, and the tumultuous life of the fishing communities. The opening of the narrative introduces Dr. Grenfell's mission with a poignant encounter between a stranger and an old fisherman, reflecting the dire need for medical assistance in the coastal communities. The fisherman hopes to find help for his ailing daughter but is met by disappointment when the stranger admits he is not a doctor. This interaction sets the tone for the account of Grenfell’s compassionate work, as it becomes evident that he is a beacon of hope for the residents who often suffer without medical aid. The reader is drawn into the grim realities of life along the Labrador coasts and the challenges faced by not only Grenfell but also the community he serves.
