Is There a Doctor in Here?
By Alex Rudd
The two bestselling memoirs from London GP Alex Rudd are brought together for the first time in this hilarious and touching boxset.
A man who injured himself trying out his girlfriend’s waxing treatment. The inimitable curiosity of a boy whose cactus has left his hand in a mess. More Googled self-diagnoses than one can count. These are just some of the cases that Rudd faces daily. As hilarious as they are poignant, the memoirs showcase some of the most baffling – and heartbreaking – stories that any doctor and their patients could experience.
In London Call-Out, Rudd lifts the lid on life as an emergency doctor in Britain’s capital. Making house calls all over London throughout the night, he treats all manner of ills and meets all sorts of patients. Meanwhile the second book in the collection, Doctor in the House, sees Rudd three years later, having switched from night-time GP to medical locum in various surgeries throughout the city. In both, he recounts some of the remarkable stories that have stayed with him throughout his years in the NHS.
Is There a Doctor Here? is a funny and moving memoir collection that will delight fans of Adam Kay and Paul Kalanithi.
