This essay studies the images, perceptions, and values of the professional medical journals, as well as popular sources such as magazine and films, to show that the country doctor was a contested figure in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The country doctor's image embodied competing ideals of a racialized professional and masculine identity that included both place as well as visions of science. Medical professionals pressed an image in their journals and professional advice books that mapped a celebration of science and its predictive value onto urban places that were enshrined in hospitals and laboratory facilities. The public, while embracing this image, also embraced a second one shown in popular media that glorified the self-sacrificing rural solo practitioner. This practitioner's wisdom came from long contact with patients, he was dedicated to seeing patients in their homes, and his identity was based in the larger needs of the entire community.
这篇文章研究了专业医学期刊以及杂志和电影等大众来源的形象、观念和价值观，以表明在 19 世纪末和 20 世纪初，乡村医生是一个备受争议的人物。乡村医生的形象体现了种族化专业人士和男性身份的相互竞争的理想，其中包括地方和科学愿景。医疗专业人员在他们的期刊和专业建议书中塑造了一个形象，将科学及其预测价值的庆祝活动映射到城市中，这些城市被医院和实验室设施所尊崇。公众在接受这一形象的同时，也接受了另一种在大众媒体中展现的形象，即颂扬自我牺牲的农村个体从业者。这位从业者的智慧来自于与患者的长期接触，他致力于在患者家中为其诊治，他的身份基于整个社区的更大需求。
