Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Bedtime Stories. Confessions of a Junior Doctor by Michael Foxton. This book follows Dr. Michael Foxton on his exhausting jounrey from medical student, through years with no sleep as a junior doctor, and on into psychiatry. In prose that crackles with dark humour and authentic energy, he paints an unforgettable portrait of the hellish life of the junior doctor, the terror of being left alone with a patient on the first day; wrestling drunks at 3 a.m. in A&E (where 'the worst possible outcome of every risk you ever took is prominently on display')' persuading schizophrenics to take their medication; suffering at the hands of a tryannical registrar; battling with alternative therapists; the dread fear of accidently killing someone; and the struggle, despite everything, to remain sane and frinedly. Dr. Foxton started out with dreams of being like Dirk Bogarde in Doctor in the House, but the reality, he discovered, was quite different. Hilarious, moving and occasionally alraming, this book is set to estblish itself as a classic account of what life as a new doctor is really like. 164 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.

Book First Edition
Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. House of Fun. Here are the finest and funniest, covering everything from John Major's government through to today's coalition, including special guest appearances by Margaret Thatcher. They will make you laugh, gasp, and sometimes even wince with embarrassment. Read about glorious leaders such as Tonly Plain, with his verb-free sentences that imply everything but promise nothing; Gordon Brown, equal parts Stalin and Mr. Bean; and now David Cameron, who really, really hates being drawn with a condom on his head. Let's not forget the other parliamentary players: John prescott, who can wrestle the English language to the man and win by two falls to a submission; Michael Fabricant, who appears to have stolen his hairpiece from the tail of a My Little Pony; Sir Peter Tapse;; a grandee so grand that when he rises to speak, Hansard writers are replaced by a crack team of monks to write up his words in illuminated lettering; and, of course, Nick Clegg, whose default expression recalls someone whose puppy has gone missing. Irreverent, barbed, but most of all extremely funny, this book looks at the last two decades in the Westminster village. 346 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
