Every patient has a story to tell, if only you make enough time to listen. In a long career as a doctor in the NHS, award winning author Dr Barry Monk has heard some remarkable tales. There has been everything from unexploded bombs and human guinea pigs to the bizarre case of the man who turned blue.


If you are a doctor, this book will remind you just why medicine is so addictive as a career. If you have ever been a patient, the stories will enthral and amaze you. You certainly won't be bored.
