Skittle, Max

£9.99

If you thought you knew about the life of a GP, think again. Let Dr Max Skittle take you on an unbelievable journey to the truth, through spilt urine bottles, the patients who should have been in hospital months ago, existential crises, utterly unexplainable health problems and awkward silences. This is a job that requires you to be a detective, relationship counsellor, social worker, friend, cage-fighter, parent-figure and sometimes, just sometimes, a doctor.

Description

Welcome to the life of Dr Max Skittle. Therapist, relationship counsellor, social worker, friend, parent-figure – and, yes: doctor.Join Max – and his patients – as he takes us on a rollercoaster journey through a year in the life of a doctor: from infected toenails, to wonky elbows, to erectile disfunction, to bed bugs; the happy couple expecting a surprise new baby; the teenage girl struggling with body image issues; the loving family grappling with grief, Max shows us all the highs and crushing lows that come with being a GP – and how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed all our lives forever.This is what really goes on in your local doctor’s surgery – spilt urine bottles, existential crises, emails back and forth with social services, utterly unexplainable health problems and appointments always running late – told by a man who, despite it all, really loves his job.
