Just Missed Harley Street - Memories of a General Practitioner

The author looks back over a lifetime, over half of which has been spent as a medical practitioner. Part biographical, part educational and part anecdotal, it gives some insight into the emotional ups and downs of a professional and private career. From childhood, through studenthood and professional career and finally retirement, the book describes, in both serious and light-hearted vein, a full and rewarding life. About the Author.
