DOCTOR AT LARGE BY RICHARD GORDON IN SOUTH AFRICA

Like many newly-qualified doctors, Richard Gordon is determined to be a great surgeon, and starts off in the lowly post of Junior Assistant to the Casualty Officer at St Swithins.  Unfortunately, a number of faux pas lose him promotion in favour of his spotty and sycophantic colleague Dr Bingham.  Gordon then gets into the hands of a medical employment agency and finds himself in practice in the Midlands.  'Don't worry about the doctor you're going to work with,' his friend Grimsdyke advises beforehand.  'Find out what his wife is like - they're the trouble.'  Doctor Gordon is to make use of this advice within twelve hours of arrival.  After an interlude in the fashionable practice of an amorous London doctor, Gordon again finds himself admitted as Resident House Surgeon at St Swithin's.  There his rivalry with Bingham starts again, but this time it's over a more serious matter than science or surgery - the hand of the prettiest night nurse in the hospital is at stake. Hard cover, fairly good condition.  The dust cover is a bit scuffed and the paper discolored.  208 pages, all intact.
