STAFF PICK OF THE MONTH
“There’s a lot of it going around” – A GP’s Odyssey by Leon Piterman
This book is a combination of entertaining and educational tales and is essential reading for medical practitioners and their patients.Through personal anecdotes – sometimes humorous, others quite poignant – the author highlights the challenges and rewards of being a modern general practitioner in Australia. A collection of short stories, it is ideal for those wishing to break “reader’s block” and get back into reading. As a self-confessed slow reader, I consumed it in one sitting. While containing medical terminology, the majority is explained for the layperson and gives a greater understanding in the complexities of diagnosing every person’s ailments. Both patients and professionals will learn something from this book.
