Synopsis

John Launer is a doctor, educator and author of the award-winning collection of essays “How Not To Be A Doctor.” For around 25 years, he wrote a highly popular column including tales from his everyday work as GP, along with reflections on the state of general practice and the National Health Service. "The Inflatable Cushion, And Other Stories" includes around 90 of these entertaining pieces, each of them full of wit, wonder and wisdom. They capture what it was like to be a family doctor in London for over a quarter of a century, during a time of tremendous change in society and the NHS, but they also show how the essence of medical work at the front line, with all its frustrations and immense rewards, has in many ways never really changed.
