A man endangered by a icy sea relies on an ice pick and careful technique to reach his kayak after abandoning seal skin boots. He survives the cold, paddles home, and later overcomes blindness through self taught typing and Braille with support from his wife and community.

Doctor Undaunted in Rocanville Faces Blindness

Blind doctor maintains practice and teaches by touch

Dr. Merifield explains he can no longer perform surgery but relies on history and examination, with X rays and labs added. He says pain and maternity cases depend on careful palpation and use of gloves, and that his sense of touch sharpens others. His Regina referrals confirm accurate diagnoses and he inspires others facing blindness to pursue education and work.
