I have only started writing this year (2024) having been working as a surgeon since the 1980s (yes I really am that old!) The first part of my medical career was spent training and working in the UK mainly in the Northeast of England and then in 2001 I moved to the Isle of Man and finally, in 2012, to Cambodia where I now work as a volunteer surgeon in Battambang in the Northwest of Cambodia. I have seen many weird and wonderful things over the years, both in medicine and outside and I have shared some of these in my book, hopefully in an amusing way.
