Of interest to health care professionals and general readers, this collection of 30 fictional stories is closely based on interviews with real general practitioners around the world. Some stories feature doctors from the author's previous book, Secrets from the Black Bag, while some stories have new characters. The doctors in the stories find humor in life's daily tragedies and triumphs as they deal with everything from AIDS to putting down the family dog. Butler, a freelance writer, has experience managing her husband's medical practice in a small town in Australia. The book is published by Radcliffe Publishing UK, and distributed in the US by BookMasters. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
