Dr. Nina and the panther

the long version

Hard as steel, gentle as an angel. This is the incredible story of Nina Case who, in the early 20th century, dreamed of becoming a doctor. She had no family, no money, little education- and yet her dream came true. Tenderhearted and fiercely independent, this woman worked her way through medical school, winning respect at a time when female practitioners were scorned. She became the beloved country doctor who bravely drove her Model T, deep in the Pennsylvania hills, to heal the neglected mountaineers.
