“Healing lives is the story of Manitoba’s many esteemed Jewish physicians–from Hiram N. Vineberg, who practised in Portage la Prairie in the 1880s, to the men and women who staff the province’s hospitals and clinics today. Topics covered include the pioneers; the province’s early women doctors; important institutions, such as the Mt. Carmel Clinic and the Mall Medical Group; anti-Semitism and the quota system at the faculty of medicine; and family dynasties.”–
