Rosemary Friedman continues her warm and humorous saga of the family doctor told in No White Coat, Love on my List and Patients of a Saint.

A year in the busy life of a GP is a frenetic combination of joy, comedy and tragedy. The doctor has an exhausting work schedule as he struggles to cope with a smallpox scare, the suicide of his partner, the painful death of a lonely holocaust survivor and the unexpected joy arising from a fatal traffic accident. As the year comes to an end the GP has time to reflect on the heartache and joy that the past twelve months have brought him, his family and his patients.
