The clang of the ambulance bell alerts the... Emergency Doctor
A man came into Casualty and asked to have a wart removed. The doctor said this was unnecessary. He produced a gun and said: “Would this make you change your mind, doctor?”
But such incidents are a rarity. The round of the Emergency Doctor is filled with small acts of kindness and skill to suffering humanity - removing a foreign body from a child’s eye, reviving a prostate alcoholic, examining a car crash victim and attaching the laconic initials ‘B.I.D.’ - brought in dead - to a corpse.
Telling descriptions of human relations in hospital make this a doubly readable book.
