The tranquility of a rural backwater - shattered! The ancient arts of medicine - exposed! Her darling cleft-chinned doctor - forced to fight for his life! It was a time of wiping. A time of bandaging of patients and their incessant needs. In a world where nurses never wash their hands, and doctors are the lowest of the low, one enormous nurse stands up for love - a nurse that will make you fart with fear! "Doctors & Nurses" is the medical romance to end all. With her characteristic wit and vitriol, Lucy Ellmann brilliantly anatomises our devotion to Hippocratic oafs.
