Is There A Doctor On Board?

If you have chosen to read Is There A Doctor On Board? before Accepting The Odd Goat you may miss the explanation I give for writing these pieces in the latter’s introduction. Well, Google may well have included it in the excerpts they have chosen to reveal from the latter. But if not, perhaps I should repeat here that I do not regard my life as sufficiently interesting to merit even the rather scrappy and grossly truncated autobiography that Goat represents. No, my motive in writing both books was to record before it is too late an eyewitness account of what it was like to be a junior doctor, and later a more senior one, in the National Health Service in the mid-late 20^th century.
