Bedside Stories by Michael Foxton

Michael Foxton's riotously candid memoir of his adventures as a junior doctor has established itself as a classic.

'This deeply funny diatribe about life in an NHS hospital, which in the best traditions of Herriot, might be subtitled It Shouldn't Happen To A Doctor' Daily Mail

'Foxton manages to draw black comedy out of the most appalling anecdote, and Bedside Stories is often extremely funny.' Phil Whitaker, Guardian

'Full of entertaining opinions you sense the apprentice doctor wished he could have vented at the time... If the writers of 'Six Feet Under' were let loose in A&E instead of morgues, if Basil Fawlty had gone into hospitals instead of hotels, well, picture the grim comedy.'

* Irish Examiner *
Michael Foxton was a junior doctor in the NHS and wrote a regular column about his job for the Guardian. Michael Foxton is a pseudonym.
