LOCAL AUTHOR'S NEW BOOK: "THE LAST, THE LEAST, THE LONELY AND THE LOST"
What's a "jeely piece?"
Why are some doctors at risk of becoming vending machines?
Where is the teardrop at the bottom of the world?
Who looked after Mrs McGaw's cat?
When was the first time a patient
consulting a doctor had a better than fifty-fifty chance of profiting
from the encounter?
The answer to these, and many other questions are contained in my
recently published book, “The Last, the Least, the Lonely and the Lost,” an odyssey of intriguing stories, fascinating facts and unique insights into life, medicine and society. This memoir provides a distinctive perspective on the joys and challenges of clinical practice in New Zealand, Australia, the UK and Canada. Issues covered include disinformation, inequalities in society, struggling health systems and the commodification of medicine.

Enjoy, and please let me know what you think.
