This book encompasses the fascinating 40 year journey in life of someone who just wasn't your average practicing GP, but someone whose passion and drive were to use his skills and medical ability to bring quality of life to every patient that crossed his path. He thrives on challenges in every situation and circumstance. Wherever there was a medical need, however big or small, he would jump to take it on! Whatever the complex medical condition was, in whatever culture or country he was operating in, whether in a war zone, an aircraft carrier, an Aboriginal township in Australia, or a community GP practice in Essex, he thrived and wanted to make a difference! Many of the episodes in this book have been the catalyst of the diverse and interesting career, which have kept many a dinner party enthralled, amused, admired and envied. Every memoir depicts the enthusiasm and need of the author to achieve the overall ambition ... 'to bring a quality of life' to all humans that needed his medical help in the best possible way... and to give the reassurance and empathy to make them 'feel they matter' and 'quality of life is essential and priceless' whatever the circumstance prevails!
