Book description
In DOCTOR, DOCTOR, Dr Rosemary writes with warmth, humour and honesty
as she recalls the stories of 20 of her most memorable patients from her
25 years working as a GP in south London. These include an eco-protestor
with appendicitis, an octogenarian nymphomaniac, a teenager in labour
with a baby she didn't know about, a lonely ex-coal miner with a chronic
chest condition and a middle-aged man who can't quite bring himself to
tell her the real problem. Funny, heart-warming and a little bit gory,
DOCTOR, DOCTOR reveals the truth about day-to-day life as a GP.
Heartbreaking diagnoses, challenging patients and the strong bonds that
are formed, Dr Rosemary takes us from the waiting room to the
consultation room and lifts the lid on what life as a GP is really like.
"She has a breezy, confident style that makes this an entertaining
glimpse into the sharp end of medicine." Dr Rosemary Leonard is
the resident doctor on BBC Breakfast, and also writes for the Daily
Express, Woman and Home magazine and Tesco Healthy Living magazine. She
has presented TV series for BBC, Sky and Living.
