This is a humourous memoir of my 14 years of experience as an unambitious doctor working at the coal face of medicine. I had to make a very quick decision as a high school student as to what career I would like to pursue, having never really thought about it previously. I was accepted into medicine, and this memoir follows my path from my childhood, through my school and University years, to my more unsual as well as rewarding experiences as a Doctor. I had a mid-life crisis and changed my career in my early 30s, but ended up becoming a patient rather than the Doctor.
