    About this ebook

    Doctors, nurses, and dentists see it all in the line of duty. This hilarious, sometimes shocking, sometimes eye-watering collection of first-hand accounts from our valiant medical professionals will have you in stitches. From the man with a device lodged far inside his body whose batteries refuse to run out, to a woman with a plunger super-glued to her vagina, this book recounts real life tales from the coal face of the UK's National Health Service. From doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, psychiatrists, and dentists come a range of eye-popping, side-splitting acts of misadventure that have had the medical profession weeping into their face masks as they attended to members of the great British public in their hour of need. In Rude Health is a riotous account of the weird, the warped, and the whacky ways we end up in the hands of the medical profession.

      This book is a collection of stories 'supposedly' from different health professionals around the UK. I say supposedly because it is a very short book for such a collection and the writing style is the same in every story - presumably because each story has been rewritten by the author. Some bits are laugh out loud funny, but I was left feeling sceptical about it's authenticity - some of the language seemed very unlikely to me.
