The tranquility of a rural backwater - SHATTERED!
The ancient arts of medicine - EXPOSED!
Her darling cleft-chinned doctor - FORCED TO FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE!
It was a time of wiping. A time of bandaging. Of patients and their incessant needs. In a world where nurses never wash their hands, and doctors are the lowest of the low, one enormous nurse stands up for LOVE - a nurse that will make you fart with fear!
Doctors & Nurses is the medical romance to end all. With her characteristic wit and vitriol, Lucy Ellmann brilliantly anatomises our devotion to Hippocratic oafs.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Reading Ellmann is to be taken on a subversive adventure by a bad-tempered fairy' Telegraph 'Ellmann's wild humour and endlessly inventive imagination are as vehement as her subject matter... [she] writes with the knowingness and authority of someone who has plumbed the depths of despair and come up laughing - hysterically' The Times 'Shrewd, passionate, outrageous and very, very funny' Sunday Telegraph
