Humanity in medicine. The life of physician Dr Stanley Goulston

Proverbs 22.v.6 states: Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it. I suspect Stans character was shaped by his deeply ingrained Jewish faith, the character of his father and father-in-law, the loss of a mother he never knew, an acute observation of inter-family relationships and a respectful obedience to authority.
