About the Book

'Being a doctor wasn't such a good idea, was it Daddy?' said Cressie, my daughter then aged four, regarding me solemnly across the kitchen table. And I had to admit she had a point...' Following on from the huge success of Country Doctor, Tales of a Rural GP, Dr Michael Sparrow transports us once more to his practice on the Devon/Cornwall border, and a daily round of the weird and wonderful. What would you do, if faced with the successful resuscitation of the wrong patient, and how would you cope with the ethical dilemma of a dying elderly lady who presents you with a supermarket bag crammed full of twenty-pound notes? In between, Dr Sparrow reminisces about his experiences at medical school, in junior doctoring and his stint as an RAF doctor. Weighty matters are discussed, such as how far should we progress down the road of genetic engineering, should euthanasia be legalised, and is constipation funny? Add to this a whole raft of asides that include fleeting glances at royal genitalia, grand car theft and a very unexpected appearance in the ladies loo at a multi-storey carpark, and you have all the ingredients for a realty hilarious read. General Practice should never be like this. But happily, of course, it still is.

About the Author :
Dr Michael Sparrow has charted an unconventional course from the immaturity and uncertainty of life as a medical student, through hospital jobs and a six year spell in the Royal Air Force, to the immaturity and uncertainty of life as a rural GP. Author of the highly amusing Country Doctor: Tales of a Rural GP, he now lives in Devon.
