About this listen

“Quacks” delights listeners with a series of hilarious and bizarre stories from Dr Ahmed Handy’s early years working in the NHS.

When British Arab and ‘Southerner’ Dr Ahmed Handy suddenly found himself working as a junior doctor in the Midlands, a part of the country with which he was wholly unfamiliar (and which was equally unfamiliar with people like him), he was faced with something of a culture shock. But that was only the beginning of his bizarre junior doctor experience.

Through this humorous and heartfelt memoir, Dr Handy imparts his extensive collection of bonkers stories about the various quirky doctors and nurses he worked alongside, ranging from the mildly eccentric to the overtly sociopathic. From a Gynaecologist so petty he copyrighted his own consent forms, to an anally retentive Orthopaedic surgeon with practices so bewildering that the accompanying doctor simply wrote a question mark in the patient’s notes, “Quacks” is a memoir full of characters and experiences so outrageous they will make you gasp in shock and laugh out loud in equal measure. Read by the author, this audiobook version of “Quacks” also features exclusive bonus chapters not available in the paperback or Kindle versions of the title.
