Publisher's Synopsis
First there is the actor who confuses himself with his character. Then comes the man suffering from amnesia-and the housewife who has spent all day wrestling with her washing machine. This is all in a day's work for the local GP in a Kentish town. Yet having done this for twenty-five years Richard Gordon could surely be forgiven for occasionally hankering after an early retirement. This hilarious novel relates the incidents and events in a hapless GP's life - misadventures that have somehow prevented him from once and for all exchanging his stethoscope for a fishing rod.
