      Big Jim Leeson parks his Cessna Skyplane, zips up his jacket and goes to pay a house call. By flying, Wiarton's Dr. Leeson figures he's beaten one of the biggest problems facing the progessive rural doctor today: Isolation from his colleagues and the big city medical centres. With his Cessna he can hop down to Toronto in an hour for a lecture. Still, he admits, a rural practice might not be every doctor's cup of tea, I'm a farm boy myself...I'm used to it, he says.

      Lean and friendly Dr. Robin Tattershall, above, offers a different kind of vacation at his Bougainvillea Clinic, left, overlooking Road Town, Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands. You can, if you meet the doctor's approval, come away tanned, fit and with a new face or a different nose or figure. The clinic with its pool and Moorish arches was built to be a small, posh hotel.
