SICK NOTES:

True Stories from the Front Lines of Medicine

by Dr Tony Copperfield

'We wanted to thank you for all you did for mum over the last 14 years,' said Mrs Cobham.

Excitedly, I peered into the plastic bag. Inside was one small loaf of sliced bread.

'Er...' I stammered. 'Well, that's lovely.'

She nodded and smiled. 'It was the least we could do, doctor,' she said.

Welcome to the bizarre world of Tony Copperfield, family doctor.

He spends his days fending off anxious mums, elderly sex maniacs and hopeless hypochondriacs.

The rest of his time is taken up sparring with colleagues, battling bureaucrats and banging his head against the brick wall of the NHS.

If you've ever wondered what your GP is really thinking - and what's going on behind the scenes at your surgery - SICK NOTES is for you.

'A wonderful book, funny and insightful in equal measure.'

Dr Phil Hammond, Private Eye’s MD

'Copperfield is simply fantastic, unbelievably funny and improbably wise... everything he writes is truer than fact.'

British Medical Journal.

'Original, funny and an incredible read.'

The Sun

'A mix of the hilarious, the mundane and the poignant. Dr Copperfield reveals what goes on behind those surgery doors.'

The Daily Mail

‘The book is human, very funny, wise and, in some instances, heart-warming.’

Casebook

‘Copperfield’s dry sense of humour kept me entertained throughout the book’

British Medical Journal

‘Hilarious. [Tony Copperfield] is blessed with some serious comedy writing skills.’
