Tom Baskett's The Dog Comes With The Practice is a memoir that is in turns both deeply touching and laugh-out-loud funny. He recalls his early years working as a junior hospital doctor and as a locum general practitioner in Northern Ireland in the mid 20th century, before specializing and providing consultant obstetrical and gynaecological services in Canada's remote Arctic communities. His writing about technical medical matters is crystal clear, his humour typically Irish and self-deprecatory, his concern for his patients as individuals and his willingness to expose his own fears and regrets shine through.Now in a new and expanded version with 10 more chapters!
