This is a collection of stories, observations and wisdom from the long, varied and eventful medical career of Dr Max Kamien, Emeritus Professor of General Practice at the University of Western Australia. The writings have appeared in many publications, particularly the weekly Australian Doctor magazine. If you have ever battled medical bureaucracy, thrilled to the display of deft clinical footwork or mused upon some sticky issue of ethics, you will certainly enjoy this meander through a sample of thoughts from Max's delightfully incisive mind. The book is richly illustrated by fellow doctor, Jenner.
