The Pox Doctor's Clerk

0/5 ( ratings)

The Pox Doctor's Clerk is the moving and entertaining memoirs of one man's experiences as a volunteer in the casualty department of a Leicester hospital.

Viewers of real-life medical programmes and medical dramas will be all too familiar with the grisly details and the tragedy in the 'cas' which is, perhaps by necessity, tempered by humour and moments of light-heartedness.

The scenes are described skilfully by an author who has devoted much of his life to caring for the sick and injured, yet never lost his ability to laugh. Horror stories about road accidents, prostitutes beaten-up by pimps and suicides are balanced by such hilarious accounts as that of the man with the enormous swollen organ who needed an emergency ice pack, and the nurse who was sent to fetch 'Rosie Lee' and returned with a Chinese colleague.

Both anecdotal and informative, this is an autobiography which can make the reader laugh or cry.

Walter Cockshaw worked in the Chemical Division of a large British oil company for many years and spent much of his spare time working as a volunteer in hospitals. He still lives in Leicester and this is his first digital publication at the age of 92!

Language: English

Pages: 239
