The author takes the reader through a totally frank and sometimes
tumultuous career in medicine starting in his last year in high
school to his forced retirement due to ill health more than forty
years later. His career in retirement in the last twelve years,
not far from medicine, has also been very interesting and
described with insight and humour. In this book many very
controversial topics have been raised as seen through the eyes of
a busy doctor trying to do the best for his patients. Factual
true life experiences describing the good and bad outcomes
without hesitation. Vignettes of his patients have been weaved
throughout the book, some to illustrate the general problems that
are raised by their various illnesses. Some of the patients'
histories have been changed slightly to avoid embarrassment but
the names of his colleagues in medicine and their histories have
not been adulterated in the slightest detail.
The book is intended to both educate and entertain the
audience and make the lay public more aware of the huge problems
facing the profession today. His personal stories of his farm,
his family and friends are sometimes both hilarious and heart
warming but there are also some very serious moments. Some of the
pit falls of being a doctor are described as well as some of
their fool hardy adventures and hobbies. He also provides a short
course in veterinarian medicine. The book is arranged in topics,
each chapter being different from the preceding one and hopefully
these chapters will provoke lively discussion.
