The Lady Doc

A good character study. The lady doc was quite a manipulator. Lots if twists and turns through out the entire book. Femme Fatale, the “lady doc” of Caroline Lockhart’s novel is by no means attractive, but she is definitely dangerous. Practicing medicine on the frontier with her only certification from a diploma mill, she is untrained and lacks any ideals usually associated with her chosen profession. She sees it mainly as a source of income. The lives, health, and welfare of her patients are of little concern to her.
