Summary

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.

Critic reviews

‘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.’
I LOVE BOOKS, Amazon (390+ 5* reviews!)

At times the author is a little pompous in his attitudes, but the anecdotes are generally well put together and give an interesting account of the life of a GP. However, the narrator turns slightly pompous attitudes into full blown snobbery. The accents that he gives to the patients portray everyone as idiots. Sometimes these accents are in keeping with the characters, but most of the time they are unnecessarily rude.

Good stories, poor narration.

What was the end ?

I was enjoying the book, but found his comments on ME and fibromyalgia as really insulting. SLS as he calls it, being “Shit Life Syndrome” as a way to describe people with serious chronic illness is not in anyway helping the stigma surrounding it already from the ill informed and uneducated. Obviously being a Dr, one would hope for understanding and compassion, but it can be seen here that he only further ostracised those who need help.
A shame as the book was funny and interesting in parts and well narrated, but as he is a person in a position of influence i can not condone the spread of misinformation like that.

Great narration but sadly content not as good.
