Description
Dr Sparrow's practice on the Devon/Cornwall border is a place where the ordinary and the bizarre coexist. In this follow-up to his debut book, Country Doctor, he shares more hilarious and unsettling stories from his daily rounds.
From the unsuccessful resuscitation of the wrong patient to being held at gunpoint as a suspected terrorist, Dr Sparrow's patients have a knack for making life interesting. There's also the blind man who refuses to stop driving, the little old lady with a supermarket bag full of £20 notes, and the haunting tale of a suicidal stranger and an abducted child.
These stories offer a glimpse into the unpredictable life of a country doctor, where the unexpected is always just around the corner.
