In 1966 John Berger spent three months in the Forest of Dean
shadowing an English country GP, John Sassall. Sassall is a
fortunate man - his work occupies and fulfils him, he lives amongst
the patients he treats, the line between his life and his work is
happily blurred. In A Fortunate Man, Berger's text and the
photography of Jean Mohr reveal with extraordinary intensity the
life of a remarkable man. It is a portrait of one selfless
individual and the rural community for which he became the hub.
Drawing on psychology, biography and medicine A Fortunate Man is a
portrait of sacrifice. It is also a profound exploration of what it
means to be a doctor, to serve a community and to heal. With a new
introduction by writer and GP, Gavin Francis.
