| Tom Baskett's The Dog Comes With The Practice is a memoir that is in turns both deeply touching and laugh-out-loud funny. He recalls his early years working as a junior hospital doctor and as a locum general practitioner in Northern Ireland in the mid 20th century, before specializing and providing consultant obstetrical and gynaecological services in Canada's remote Arctic communities. His writing about technical medical matters is crystal clear, his humour typically Irish and self-deprecatory, his concern for his patients as individuals and his willingness to expose his own fears and regrets shine through.Now in a new and expanded version with 10 more chapters! | ||||

"It's the medical equivalent of All Creatures Great and Small" -- Patrick Taylor. New York Times & USA Today best-selling author of the Irish Country Doctor series | ||||
|
"Funny and moving stories . If you're tired of misery lit, read this and feel better. This book has something to say to today's trainees." -- The Obstetrician and Gynaecologist | ||||
|
"The description of life as a medical student and young doctor is authentic, told with humour and laced with direct quotes from colleagues and patients, often in the colourful Belfast vernacular ... A valuable account of a system of training that is now part of history" -- Ulster Medical Journal | ||||
|
"Told as a series of patient stories ... In the virtual and technology-driven world we inhabit, this gentle volume reminds us that, at the core, medicine is about people" -- Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Canada | ||||
|
"It reads as tales given after dinner at the fireside. Humorous and self-deprecating, but at times serious and poignant, describing the limits of 1960s medicine. A good read, with education and thought thrown in" -- British Society for the History of Medicine | ||||
