About this listen

Welcome to the life of Dr Max Skittle. Therapist, relationship counsellor, social worker, friend, parent-figure - and, yes: doctor.

Join Max - and his patients - as he takes us on a rollercoaster journey through a year in the life of a doctor: from infected toenails, to wonky elbows, to erectile disfunction, to bed bugs; the happy couple expecting a surprise new baby; the teenage girl struggling with body image issues; the loving family grappling with grief, Max shows us all the highs and crushing lows that come with being a GP - and how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed all our lives forever.

This is what really goes on in your local doctor's surgery - spilt urine bottles, existential crises, emails back and forth with social services, utterly unexplainable health problems and appointments always running late - told by a man who, despite it all, really loves his job.

The Secret Doctor is a truly honest, yet lighthearted, but also heartfelt and true depiction of one GP’s time as a local doctor.

It’s well worth a listen!

Thankyou Max Skittle, whom ever you may be!

When I first began to listen it seemed a bit boring and I was almost going to switch it off, but I thought no il give it more time. Turned out to be a great listen! Awesome insight to G.P and family life. Hope there's a sequel about country life????

Almost Switched Off! Glad I Didn't
