*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2020*

The senior residents in my family practice residency gave each of the interns a copy upon finishing our internship. As a retired (Gentile) physician after almost 30 years I can tell you that I have lived each of these chapters. I still take it out and read it from time to time.  Like all humor there is embedded a grain of truth. I think you must be a primary care practitioner to really appreciate the wisdom and insight he imparts with each chapter. What some readers observed to be trivial or lighthearted sarcasm I find brilliant and hilarious at the same time.Most people do not realize that physicians, especially primary care physicians, interact with people, their patients, on a personal level in a way unique to the practice of medicine and nursing. Take a time machine back 100, 200 years into the past it was no different. Nowhere else except maybe in a Catholic confessional will people divulge such personal often bizarre behavior, thoughts, and feelings. I still marvel at the level of trust that patients willingly give their physician, who for all intents and purposes is a total stranger.Notwithstanding the nasty “business” of corporate medicine, big pharma and regulations, the practice of medicine is and always will be a very personal experience for all of us. It has always been about the patient for me. Having the privilege of treating thousands of patients in civilian practice and during my military service has been both professionally and personally rewarding as well as a great privilege.

I am a physician, so reading Dr. London's semihumorous review of how he has survived the vagaries of office practice and been an advocate for his patients has been a confirmation of some of my own prejudices. Some of his revelations, such the fact that physicians don't know everything nor diagnose every disease accurately, may come as a shock to some people. Medicine involves one imperfect human being caring for a series of similarly flawed people who happen to be sick and distressed by their illness. It's a miracle, given the variability of illness, and the tendency of patients to deviate from the "textbook" descriptions, that we save as many as we do. The book injects a needed reality into the mysterious world of office practice, which is far different from the hospital environment usually dramatized on TV.It's a worthwhile addition to the popular medical literature; it won't tell you how to cure your ulcer or stave off a heart attack, but it will tell you what makes your doctor tick. Bravo, Dr. London!

    Hilarious medicine by a first-class curmudgeon!
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2000*

Oh geez, I have never laughed so hard. This guy is definitely one of the funniest doctors and columnists that ever existed. I needed something to lighten the research I am doing currently on eugenics and the deaf community for my dissertation, and this book fit the bill. London, if that is really his name, had a capacity to see the humorous and explain it to the general public in such a way, that we see the the situation as he perceives it. That is the sign of a great writer. He also obviously takes his whole profession with a large grain of salt, which is so widely missing in most physicians. It's like the teach LackofHumor 101 in medical schools...they are not allowed to be funny or see anything funny in what they do. Thank heavens London does not feel that way, or we would be missing some major yuks! London is a verbal slap-stick version of a doctor, along the line of the Three Stooges and Andy Rooney mixed together. I totally plan on making some of my doctor friends read this so they get a sense of humor! Karen Sadler, Science education, University of Pittsburgh
