A Doctor's Tale

Just after the war, life in a London teaching Hospital was a mix of Doctor in the House and MASH. The mix of no-nonsense ex-servicemen, returning from the war, with bright young students, straight out of school, proved to be fertile ground for the contest between the later day Sir Lancelot Spraggs of the medical establishment and the new brand of medical students and trainees. This book recalls the many funny events that resulted from this challenge to the old order. It tells the story of the many funny events, both funny amusing and funny peculiar, that happened at one such teaching hospital.
