Random Musings of a Disorderly Mind

Have you ever woken up wondering what the day will bring? If this includes fishing around inside someone's intestines being sent photos of bodily fluids or even pretending to be dead then you may just happen to be a surgeon. If it includes retrieving arrows knives and other foreign bodies from various anatomical locations then you may be a trauma surgeon. If it also includes rescuing patients from spitting monks and overdosing pharmacists then you probably work as a doctor in Southeast Asia. From the relative safety of a 1970s UK medical school to the extremes of modern-day Cambodia enter the world of funny sad baffling and at times unbelievable encounters with patients teachers and colleagues over five decades.
