All enjoyed the book but found the descriptive nature unnecessary - didn't kind of flow. Important book to read but unlike the health system of city dwellers - reminded us more of when we were growing up. Most of us in our 50s-70s age group.

An easy and often heartwarming read sharing the importance of GPs - we all remembered how things used to be! The book focuses on relationships that build up over time between doctor and patient. Being a doctor today is not for the faint hearted.
