Riassunto

Now Dr Grimsdyke is qualified he finds practising medicine rather less congenial than he anticipated. But the ever-selfless Grimsdyke resolves to put the desires of others (and in particular his rather career-minded cousin) before his own, and settle down and make the best of it. Finding the right job, however, is not always that easy. Porterhampton is suddenly rife with difficulties - as is being a waiter, as is being a writer. And writing obituaries is just plain depressing. Doctor in Clover finds the hapless Grimsdyke in a hilarious romp through misadventures, mishaps and total disasters.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Richard Gordon is best-known for his hilarious Doctor series books and the long-running television series they inspired. Born in 1921, he qualified as a doctor and went on to work as an anesthetist at the famous St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, before a spell as a ship’s surgeon and then as assistant editor of the British Medical Journal. In 1952, he left medical practice to take up writing full time and embarked upon the Doctor series, many of which are based on his experiences in the medical profession and are told with the wry wit and candid humor that have become his hallmark. They have proved enduringly successful and have been adapted to both film and TV. His Great Medical Mysteries and Great Medical Discoveries series concern the stranger aspects of the medical profession, while The Private Life series takes a deeper look at individual figures within their specific medical and historical setting. Gordon will, however, always be best known for his comic tone coupled with remarkable powers of observation.
