Review
"Not only about medical travails and emergencies, but also stories of friendship formed with steadfast people, children lost and found, farm animals that wander a little too far, and rumors of a ghostly apparition whispering a hidden secret. Extraordinary, heartwarming, and at times a little bit tragic, Nurse, Come You Here! captures the essence of a rugged, close-knit rural community."—The Biography ShelfPraise for Call the Nurse"Julia MacLeod shares unique and enchanting experiences as a nurse in rural Scotland. Her stories will ring true with every nurse—or anyone—who has ever cared for a family or a community, whether in Scotland or America. Call the Nurse is a delightful read.”—LeAnn Thieman, author Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul"Cozy and chatty . . . A lovely account of ordinary people thriving in an extraordinary landscape."—Kirkus Reviews"The book feels like a letter from a friend who has an eye for travel writing. . . . With a nurse's no-nonsense manner, MacLeod relays tales of adventure, finding humor and humanity in her experiences. . . . For James Herriot fans, without the animals."—Booklist"MacLeod proves to be an engaging narrative writer who uses humor and vernacular to her advantage. Should be of interest not only to medical professionals but to all readers who want to escape to a slower way of life."—Library Journal"This lively and heartening memoir evokes both the hardships and the humour of island life."—The Scotsman"This charming, bracing reminiscence of life on a remote Hebridean island captures a vanishing world filled with memorable stories and characters. . . . Mary J. MacLeod makes you care, moves you, amuses you, shocks you, teaches you: This is a surprising, satisfying memoir."—Floyd Skloot, author of In the Shadow of Memory and The Wink of the Zenith: The Shaping of a Writer's Life"Call the Midwife gave [us] . . . the nursing profession in 1950s London. Now, a retired district nurse [gives us] the heartwarming and humorous—yet often shocking—events on a remote Scottish island."—Sunday Post, UK"A charming tale, packed full with reminiscences, rather in the manner of the recent hit TV series, Call the Midwife. . . . Her tales of joy, trouble, drama, and comedy are warm and humorous, telling of a bygone era."—Westcountry Life, Western Morning News, UK"Julia MacLeod has written a book which encapsulates Hebridean life during some decades past . . . with a sensitivity that reflects her nursing career."—Lady Claire Macdonald of Macdonald, from her foreword

I enjoyed MacLeod’s first book “Call the Nurse†about her life as a nurse on the Island of Papavray in the Scottish Hebrides. So, I decided to read the sequel. I must say that I enjoyed the first book more than the second.The first part of the book is about life and nursing on Papavray. The second part is about the family following her husband as his work took them to Nevada, California and England. The book is well written and the famous Scottish humor is prevalent in the story. MacLeod presents various short stories about people she cared for. I found it interesting to learn about the state of medical and nursing care in the 1960s. MacLeod reveals the cultural shock the family felt going from the Hebrides Island to Nevada and California and from Scottish culture to American Culture. Overall the book made of a delightful, easy read.I read this as an e-book via my Kindle app for the iPad. The book is 320 pages long.
This is the 2nd book from Mary MacLeod in which she relates stories of her time as a nurse on a Scottish Island. This one is just as good as the first. Really wonderful stories of the people who lived on this island. Also about their diverse ways and the many problems they faced. She also tells of her time of living in America. Her husband's work took her to the west coast and she found it far different than the small island in Scotland. The stories are well told with usually humorous anecdotes. The places and and names are fictionalized but the stories are true. If you like this genre of reading then you will love her two books about her days on this Scottish Island.
This is a moving set of incidents in the life of a nurse in the isolated Hebrides. I read this second installment without having written the first volume. All of the autobiographical incidents are interesting and several very moving. There is a twist in the set when the writer is transferred to Nevada and California by remaining with her husband and his far flung occupations. This last quarter of the book is a contrast with the limited horizons of the Hebrides! And it serves as an Engish woman's view of far southwestern America. Life on an island in the Hebrides with its long tradition of quaint habits was a contrast with the author's previous experience in England and we are carried along for the ride. Then when she somewhat suddenly finds herself on Nevada we are doubly jolted by culture shock. The author is kind in her assessments of people in both places. I really enjoyed my sojourn in the Hebrides and read one long story outloud to some visitors. The part about the U. S. was humorous as I watched the author adjust. I think she would find other parts of the country as different from Nevada and California as the Hebrides are from England. I should add that the time period is the 1970s.
I began this book reluctantly because I never fully warmed to the first one. Indeed, the book plods along like the last one did, until suddenly we’re in Nevada. The scene change was as jarring as the fault lines and earthquakes she mentions. After spending a book and a half talking about their life in the Hebrides, she doesn’t tell us anything about their decision to leave the islands, let alone say goodbye to her beloved islanders.Why not finish the story about the Hebrides and save their American adventures for another book?
Ms. McLeod continues her life's story in this fascinating book, beginning in the Hebrides Islands & concluding with leaving California. Again she weaves her story around the interesting & colorful characters she meets & the beauty & struggles in the different climates where she lives. Her books are laced with fun humor in her everyday life situations and her refreshing love of life shines in these true stories. How I wish there was a book #3! Thank you, Ms. McLeod, for sharing your adventures & your most fascinating life with us!
I like this book a lot, but her other one is my most favorite because it has more dealings with the local people and their customs.As wonderful and facinating as she has the locals of Scotland are, I wonder about the high level of mental illness and alcoholism that seems to come hand in hand with living in such difficult (poor) circumstances and such terribly harsh weather. She may patch them up as a Nurse, but I am doubtful there is much recovery from the over drinking and other chronic problems she encounters. I noticed she thought the amount of arthritis she encountered had to do with the weather in Scotland -- scientifically of course this could not be true.She also lived in Africa and other locations and I hope she writes about them too!
I bought this book and then regretted I did not have her first book. So I borrowed that one from the library using Overdrive. and had no problem whatsoever to finish reading it within the 3 weeks allowed., Her books are books one will remember and treasure for a long time. As a nurse she got to know most people on the island her family lived and on some of the other islands. People learned to make do and were always ready to help. Yes, they also wanted to know everything but it is like one big family. She gets you into the island life right from the start and had also a great appreciation for the beauty of the island, despite at times the nasty weather. .
If you liked the first one you will like this one. Its the continuing adventures of a nurse on a small island in the Hebrides. the stories are poignant and sweet just like the first one. Its the kind of book you want snuggle up with under a warm blanket on a cold winters night. that said it is a little different from the first one because she leaves her small island to come to the states due to her husbands job. Thus you also get the opinion of Scott on life in America. I greatly enjoyed both books but fear our intrepid author is out of stories which is a shame as these were enjoyable reads. If you like Call the Midwife on PBS you will enjoy these two books.
