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.

enjoyed this as a free one from the plus catalogue. I enjoy the various stories if the different people being told from the GP's point of view with humour and honesty.

great book. love the humor but also really interesting to hear the day in a life of a GP. He sounds like a great GP wish I could have him as a Dr.

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
