Oh Dear, Doctor!

Laughter is the best medicine!

Oh Dear, Doctor! is the fourth in the series of Dr. Clifford’s richly entertaining — and true-life — accounts of his experiences as a G.P. in a small West Country practice.
Once again the inhabitants of Tadchester and Sanford prove that patients are not necessarily a virtue. Like Ralph, the tiny greengrocer, only too aware that an operation might restore marital duties with his huge bowler-hatted wife … the commander’s wife who was literally a knock-out … and the dubious joys of being a school medical officer. Even off-duty things don’t go too smoothly … there are the trials and tribulations of taking his elderly and eccentric father-in-law on a camping holiday through France … and the writers’ summer school where Dr. Clifford ends up holding endless surgeries.
Doctor, family man, humorist, philosopher and counsellor, Dr. Robert Clifford takes us through a three-year period in his busy life, sharing his patients’ problems and joys, tragedies and courage.
