520 _a"A Yankee Doctor in Paradise" by S. M. Lambert is a memoir written in the early 21st century. The book chronicles the experiences of Dr. Lambert, an American physician working for the Rockefeller Foundation, as he embarks on various health campaigns across the Pacific Islands, particularly focusing on his work in Papua New Guinea and Fiji. The narrative provides insights into the public health challenges, cultural interactions, and personal adventures faced by the author as he addresses pressing medical issues in these regions. At the start of the memoir, Dr. Lambert receives his assignment to Papua from Dr. Heiser of the Rockefeller Foundation and reflects on his previous medical experiences that have prepared him for this role. He describes his initial ignorance about Papua and the expectations of his new position, emphasizing the disparities between life in the mainland United States and the tropical challenges he anticipates. As he prepares for his journey, he expresses gratitude for the support he received from various individuals along the way, illustrating the interconnectedness of his personal and professional life. The opening sets the stage for an exploration of Lambert's adventurous endeavor in public health, revealing his aspirations and concerns as he embarks on this significant chapter of his career.
