Post 57 The Hypochondriac.

Hello and Welcome

Being a Surgeon and Being a Surgeon’s Wife written by Peter Sykes and his wife Jane, is an honest and personal account of the life of a surgeon and the effect it has on his wife and family. The reader is taken behind the scenes as fascinating patient stories are used to illustrate what the job entails and the pressures that result; the long and arduous training, that first solo operation, the emotional ’high’ when an operation skilfully performed goes well and the devastating ‘low’ and anguish experienced when a surgical disaster occurs.

Incidents of medical malpractice, sexual discrimination, political interference and other problems encountered during a long and eventful career are also related, all exemplified by authentic patient stories.

What the literary critics said.

An engaging account of the life of a surgeon revealing the author's vulnerability and emotions.

Riveting and truly heart-breaking patient stories.

The reader may finish the book sooner that they expected.

Post 57 The Hypochondriac.

Brian was one of the world’s worst hypochondriacs. One day, whilst shopping in the supermarket, he spotted his doctor in an adjacent aisle. He dashed over to share his concerns about his latest medical complaint.

‘Doctor, Doctor,’ Brian exclaimed. ‘I’m so relieved to have bumped into you. I need your advice. I know I ought to make an appointment to see you at the Medical Centre, but this really is most urgent. You remember those voices that I kept hearing in my head? Well, I haven’t heard them for over a week!’

‘Wow, that’s wonderful news Brian! I’m so happy for you!’ his doctor replied.

‘Wonderful? It’s not wonderful at all. It’s terrible,’ Brian moaned. ‘In addition to all my other problems, now I’m going deaf!’

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something informative to read? cpf nomination

What are your company values? What kind of message do you want to convey to your customers? If you’re a fun-loving company, your bath bomb boxes and other packaging should reflect that. Perhaps you want to try out bright, peppy colors, or inject some humor.
