The Saskatchewan Red Dean, Dr. W. T. S. McGill, was a pioneer in the field of public health. He was born in Scotland in 1853 and came to Canada in 1885. He settled in Saskatchewan and quickly became involved in the province's medical community. In 1893, he was appointed the first Dean of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan. He served in this position for 25 years and during that time he helped to establish the Queen Associated Medical Services (QAMS).

QAMS was a group of volunteer doctors who provided medical care to people in rural Saskatchewan. The group was founded in 1913 and it quickly became a vital part of the province's health care system. QAMS doctors traveled by horse and buggy to reach patients in remote areas. They provided basic medical care and they also helped to educate people about health and hygiene.

Dr. McGill was a strong advocate for QAMS. He believed that everyone should have access to quality medical care, regardless of where they lived. He also believed that QAMS was a cost-effective way to provide medical care to rural residents.

Dr. McGill's work with QAMS had a profound impact on the health of Saskatchewan people. He helped to reduce infant mortality rates and he also helped to improve the overall health of the population. He was a true pioneer in the field of public health and his work continues to benefit Saskatchewan people today.

This book tells the story of Dr. McGill and his work with QAMS. It is a fascinating and inspiring story that sheds light on the important role that doctors and other health care professionals have played in the development of Saskatchewan.
