Are you really a doctor? Stories about difficult patients, modern medicine, and the power of humor

The most vivid stories from the practice of Liam Farrell – a family doctor from rural Ireland. Utterly honest, unvarnished, and with a subtle sense of humor.
About the fact that a doctor is also a person. About professional everyday life... and patients, about modern medicine and ubiquitous bureaucracy, about pain and hope, about the power of knowledge and the power of empathy, about how impassive science gives way to intuition and inspiration.
This is a collection of stories in which Liam Farrell, in the best traditions of Bulgakov and Chekhov, describes the daily life of a doctor.
The book will not leave indifferent fans of medical dramas and anyone who wants to learn more about the practice of representatives of one of the most humane and complex professions.
