Just Here, Doctor is the true story of a young country doctor and his patients – a richly entertaining and humorous chronicle of the life of a small West Country community as seen through the eyes of its G.P.
Dr Clifford has some marvellous stories to tell: about the home delivery of a cricket fan’s baby – in between overs of a televised Test Match; of the time he rode off on a gigantic horse to attend a hunting casualty – and rode back in an ambulance as the casualty; and the amazing saga of his student rugby tour of France – the craziest, most drunken ever undertaken. Here too, on the more serious side, are moving accounts of the courage of ordinary people in the face of serious, even fatal illness.
Teeming with colourful and curious places and characters, Just Here, Doctor is packed with comedy, drama and tragedy, every bit as warm and enthralling as James Herriot’s famous stories of a vet’s life.
