I'm Too Hot Now - Themes and Variations from General Practice (Paperback, 1st New edition)

I'm Too Hot Now is a collection of reviews, lectures, commentaries, and speculations produced by Dr Roger Neighbour over the past 15 years. It is a captivating journey through the landscape of general practice drawn with a fresh and sharp eye. Dr Neighbour brings a keen, impatient, often iconoclastic, yet almost always warm and generous imagination to size up the world he lives in. He gives the reader a uniquely personal view on many themes, reaching far beyond the familiar territory of practice yet almost always pertinent to it. The passion and reflective curiosity that first drew him to medicine have not wavered with the realities of service, and he has little time for those who seem not to accept or perhaps even wish to understand the special qualities of the immensely human encounters that can make general practice the most rewarding of all the specialties. He brings a light touch to serious matters; stuffed with wisdom and garnished with humour, sour only when called for. He is not afraid to question the earnest academic footings that give General Practice the standing it enjoys today and mark its differences from the procedure driven specialties that more readily capture media and public attention. This book is not just for doctors: thoughtful patients, the public and politicians will find time for it too. Many of the situations and experiences Dr Neighbour describes and draws on will be familiar to these people, but his insights and questioning will be new.
