Book Description

Publication Date: 27 Oct 2011 | ISBN-10: 1847563074 | ISBN-13: 978-1847563071 | Edition: Reprint

Benjamin Daniels is angry. He is frustrated, confused, baffled and, quite frequently, very funny.

He is also a GP, and these are his confessions.

The doctor will see you now…

The middle-aged woman troubled by pornographic dreams about Tom Jones.

An 80-year-old man who can't remember why he's come to see the doctor.

A cheating husband who wants the doctor to secretly administer antibiotics to his wife as he thinks he might have given her chlamydia after an affair.

The flirtatious transvestite.

An elderly gentleman who only wants to stay alive long enough to see the Royal Wedding.

The woman with a botched boob job wanting it fixed on the NHS.

These are his patients.

Confessions of a GP is a witty insight into the life of a family doctor. Funny and moving in equal measure, it will change the way you look at your GP next time you pop in with the sniffles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book 1 Jan 2011
By Rebecca
Format:Kindle Edition
Having just finished this book I knew I had to come on here and review it. I thoroughly enjoyed Dr Daniels stories about his patients. There were parts of this book that made me laugh out loud, particuarly the chapters 'Maintaining Interest' and 'Dead People' The chapters are all rather short which makes this a great book for dipping in to or reading for longer periods. Mostly Dr Daniels tells you about his wide range of patients and but there are also some really insightful chapters which are quite thought provoking and open your eyes to some of the things GPs have to endure. It is also sad in places too. All in all a great book and an amazingly cheap price. I'd definitely recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars So true of life in a GP Surgery 3 Aug 2011
By Pogo
Format:Kindle Edition
I was drawn to this book to see if it truly reflects life working in a GP Surgery & having worked for a surgery for 14 years I can honestly say it does! The author/GP wrote well of his experiences & battles he faces daily. Same as the GPs I worked for he has a sense of humour (so necessary) & yet empathy & compassion where needed. It was refreshing to read the human reaction of his visit to the obese patient (stomach churning) & being unable to clean up after the patient & needing the district nurse to pick up the peices....a recognised unsung hero of the nhs!
This book should be available in surgery waiting rooms......!

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant 3 Sep 2010
By I LOVE BOOKS
Format:Paperback
An original book written by a real GP, which will make you laugh out loud and ponder over serious matters, all at the same time. Hilarious and touching. It is divided into easy-to-read chapters and the author's sense of humour, combined with his love for his job make this book a page-turner.

It is a pity that "Dr. Daniels" cannot reveal his true identity for obvious reasons (and thus he will probably not be able to enjoy `ad personam' the success I hope his book will generate), still, well done for having produced such a delightful read. It was refreshing to read about a GP's personal opinion toward certain issues, I am sure it must have been awkward to put some of them in writing -but liberating too I guess!-.

The overall gist was, in my opinion, that GPs, like all human beings, have their feelings and limits, too. And a lot of bureaucracy to deal with. "Dr. Daniels" is no different. Still, his compassion, humanity and dedication to his job are clearly showing through the pages. He will always deal with his patients to the best of his abilities. And his sense of humour is just brilliant. As the saying goes "A laugh a day keeps the doctor away"... You need no prescription, so read this book and give your GP a rest (for a 10 mins slot, at least). Enjoy!
