About this ebook

Benjamin Daniels is angry. He is frustrated, confused, baffled and, quite frequently, very funny. He is also a GP. These are his confessions.

A 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 woman with a common cold demanding (but not receiving) antibiotics. A man with a sore knee. A young woman who has been trying to conceive for a while but now finds herself pregnant and isn't sure she wants to go through with it. A 7-year-old boy with 'tummy aches' that don't really exist.

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.

This book makes a good read and it will give you some good insight to what doctors have to out up with during their careers. It is well written but it lacks a conductive line and the stories are not written in chronological order; when you read it it gives the impression of a constant travel from present to past and then back to present, only to be jumping to the past once again. All in all, it feels more like a collection of notes made by the author in preparation to write a book. 99p it's a fair price.

This is a brilliant book to read in little gaps of time (waiting for an appointment, etc...) The chapters are short and easy to read, the tone is light, and the content remains of genuine interest. It might be a little disjointed for a lengthy stretch of reading, but perfect for picking up for a few minutes. It's not a ground-breaking book, but I'd highly recommend it for a bit of light reading.

An ideal read to kill time or while travelling, as the chapters are short and to the point. Almost every page has made me chuckle including my favourite chapter 'Jargon' because I have a personal interest in this. I believe in the story and the author as a genuine doctor because the book begins with his history and he repeatedly refers back to his junior years throughout the book. Although the initial reaction is shock and laughter, its also a brilliant insight into a world us 'normal' UK citizens fear.

Dr Benjamin Daniels is a GP. That is about as much as we can reveal about him.
