ISBN The Secret GP book Hardcover 352 pages

If you thought you knew about the life of a GP, think again.Let me take you on an unbelievable journey to the truth, through spilt urine bottles, the patients who should have been in hospital months ago, existential crises, utterly unexplainable health problems and awkward silences.This is a job that requires you to be a detective, relationship counsellor, social worker, friend, sex therapist, parent-figure and sometimes, just sometimes, a doctor. Find out why you only get ten minutes with a GP, why you can never see the same doctor, why we are ALWAYS running late and why, despite a struggling system and an almost omnipresent sense of impending doom, I really love my job.

Dr Max Skittle is a practising GP.
