About this listen

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.

Very enjoyable

I always enjoy a British accent narrating a book. I especially enjoyed it in a doctor memoir. It was fun listening to the different terminology as compared to the U.S. And overall, the stories he had to tell were just good medical tales. He did have a bit of a judgemental tone on a few occasions but each to his own.

Interesting

This was written by a doctor from the U.K., and tells many stories of his years working as a doctor, in many different areas. It's very well written, lots of information on how the health care system works there.
He also recalls some of his most memorable cases, many of them being quite funny, while others tug at your heartstrings. I've listened to this twice and enjoyed it just as much the second time. The author has also written a second part, but I couldn't find it available as audio, so I'm reading it on my kindle.
The narrator does an A Plus job . Well worth the buy.

For all abroad doctors who wants to work in the UK

This book of GP Confessions looks pretty truthful and honest. As I listen to this audiobook on Audible, I could see the doctor working in his room. We all forget that doctors are humans too, and it must be to receive an extra patient on a fully booked appointment schedule. Patients are people too, people without medical background and how often they perceive a doctor to be some magician who can fix their lives. Patients with different backgrounds are different, and it is clearly illustrated how they present to their GP, aka Dr Daniels, with their problems. This book narrates the time of 1998, and it is fair to mention that a lot of changes have been made by NHS to fox mentioned problems in this book, such as electronic system. However, I can relate to patients who never change.
