Diary of a Rural GP
Hilarious True Stories from a Country Practice
Michael Sparrow New Paperback
Postscript summary
For almost 30 years Dr Mike Sparrow attended patients across the Devon–Cornwall countryside. Never a man for Standard Operating Procedure, he looks back on his most memorable cases, including sewing fingers back on, delivering babies vet-style, and burying beagles.
Product information
Full publisher description
Recently retired, Dr Sparrow reveals with refreshing candour and dark humour the most memorable experiences of his career as a rural GP.
From sewing back on a patient's chiselled finger on a call-out, and the emergency countryside delivery inspired by James Herriot, to suddenly remembering the body left in the back of a Volvo, and a small oversight that blew up the local crematorium, Dr Sparrow spares no blushes.
