Post 57 The Hypochondriac.

Hello and welcome

Laughter is the Best Medicine – Confessions of a Young Surgeon’ has just been published. It is available from Amazon Books as a paper back and Kindle.

It is said that a surgeon must have ‘the eyes of a hawk, the heart of a lion, and the hands of a lady,’ but have you ever wondered how a surgeon learns to operate, how he ‘cuts his teeth’ progressing from naive newly-qualified doctor to competent surgeon?

In this novel, the training of one slightly naive young trainee is viewed through the experiences of the patients he treats as he embarks of this most challenging of careers. We share his joy when things go well, his anguish when they don’t and learn that, at the end of the day, compassion and a sense of humour make wonderful medicine.

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
