About this listen

 Picking up from where his first memoir left off, Dr Tom is back with more of his gloriously eccentric stories. Still based as a locum in his beloved Scotland, he now takes time out from the surgery for stints as a medical researcher, travelling wherever he is called, from Rio to Jerusalem, Vienna to Singapore.

Part memoir, part travelogue, Going Loco takes us on a dizzying journey around the medical world - from the challenge of a make-shift surgery in the African bush, to the terror of smuggling beagles into Amsterdam on behalf of a global pharmaceutical company. We encounter extraordinary characters on the way - impossible patients, brave souls, and more than a smattering of crazy doctors.

Love this book and the others in the series. Dr Tom telling the story makes the tales come to life. I want to visit all the places he does as what he makes me picture in my mind is wonderful. His medical tales are really interesting, and well balanced between the hilarious and the serious.

Another great book read by Dr Tom.

I loved this book as much as the first. The author has an easy listening style in both the writing and narration, and a knack of putting a humorous slant on his many adventures. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

Cracking read
