David Rhodes sent me a postscript to this post by email a few days later:

At the start of each winter we left a box containing 9-10 medicaments at the Post Office in Postbridge, duly labelled. If the conditions did not allow us to drive, faced with a foot or more of snow, or if the R.A.F could not help, we could make a telephone diagnosis, suggest treatment, and the patient could report progress. Soon after my arrival in Chagford, a farmer’s wife asked if I was married. When I answered in the negative she said “You’m leaving it a bit late bain’t you?” David Rhodes
