Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Doctor Luttrell's First Patient" by Rosa Nouchette Carey is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds the challenges faced by a young physician, Marcus Luttrell, as he struggles to establish his practice while providing for his wife Olivia and their child. The narrative, rich in character development and emotional depth, explores themes of love, perseverance, and societal expectations. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the Luttrells at their modest home, where the couple grapples with financial strain following a hasty marriage. Marcus, beset by insecurities and doubts about his medical career, is buoyed by Olivia's unwavering support despite their gloomy circumstances. The story gains momentum with the introduction of Mr. Gaythorne, a reclusive neighbor who becomes Marcus's first patient after an accident. This pivotal event not only sparks the beginnings of a professional relationship but also offers hope for the Luttrell family's future.
