More tales from the surgery from the best-loved Country Doctor series. Have you ever had to decide what to do with an unidentified corpse by a Devonian cowshed when the herd is due in for milking? And how would you react if one of your patients was abducted by aliens? Dr Sparrow's adventures would be utterly unbelievable were they not 100% true. His bedside manner may sometimes leave a little to be desired but, if you're in dire straits, this doctor will have you in stitches. Dr Sparrow is back, coping with more bizarre, macabre and hilarious situations, guiding us through the daily rounds of the weird and wonderful in his practice on the Devon/Cornwall border. What would you do if faced with the unsuccessful resuscitation of the wrong patient? Or being held at gunpoint as a suspected terrorist? Add to this, jets crashing on the runway, fleeting glimpses of the Royal Genitalia and the haunting tale of the suicidal stranger and an abducted child - and you will start to have some idea of the unpredictable life of Dr Sparrow. AUTHOR: Dr Michael Sparrow has charted an unconventional course from the immaturity and uncertainty of life as a medical student, through hospital jobs and a six-year spell in the Royal Air Force, to the immaturity and uncertainty of life as a rural GP. He lives on the Devon/Cornwall border as the region's longest serving GP.
