<p>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.<br><br>In <i>A Fortunate Man</i>, 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 <i>A Fortunate Man</i> 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.<br><br>With a new introduction by writer and GP, Gavin Francis.</p>
