Book Description | This book aims to show that it is possible to live the life of a British General Practitioner, with compassion, intelligence, and a sense of humour.--Three, longer, systematic essays cover the nature of primary care, altruism, and the sociology of immunisation. They are followed by pieces on teaching evidence-based medicine and the primary care of refugees, together with some shorter reflective, essays. The book finishes with an autobiographical fragment.--These essays reflect twenty years of living, pen in hand, as a Christian doctor."Whatever the topic, this engaging book tirelessly advocates for humility and open-mindedness in medical practice." Dr Tom Templeton BJGP |
