Practice Makes Perfect (Edward Vernon’s Practice series Book 1) (Kindle Edition) – digital list price CA$5.55 $0.00
- Publication date: Oct 13, 2014
- Format: Kindle edition
It’s the 1970s and newly qualified GP Edward Vernon has taken a job as an assistant to an elderly general practitioner in a small town in the English midlands. It is his first job in general practice; his first brave excursion into the dangerous world where patients walk round in their clothes. Dr Vernon soon finds himself bemused, fascinated and exhausted as he copes with the procession of ailing humanity that streams into his surgery and awaits his visits. A confused old lady, timid vet, puzzled diabetic, lonely housewife, hypochondriac, tipster with an ulcer, nun with dandruff and a persistent young lady with abundant charms and nothing wrong with her.Just published as an e book, exclusive to Amazon, this book was a huge hit in England and America when first published in the 1970s.
Edward Vernon is a pen name of a well known British doctor/author.
