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