Reality GP - Ken B Moody

In this age of reality TV, where the shallow pursuit of celebrity seems to be at the expense of talent and sincerity, this book comes as a breath of fresh air. Dr Moody's prose unwittingly, but most wittily, takes a swat at these 'fly-on-the-wall' shows. Following on from the relative success of View from the Surgery (well, most of his relatives managed to borrow a copy!) this second volume of tales from life in general practice details his 3-dimensional patients with all their genuine concerns, illnesses and foibles.Dr Moody does not offer up platitudes or placebos but gets to the heart of the condition each time, and with a warmth and humour that cannot be witnessed on any flat-screen TV.
