Auteur: Des Parunia

Des Parunia is a seasoned clinician who after 25 years of service working in hospital medicine decided to turn his hand from writing scientific papers in Medical journals and write a book about what it used to be like when doing medicine was actually fun. With the demise of the hospital bar, the doctors mess, the friendly nursing home and dramatic loss of status of hospital consultants Des decided to relive the past. The intention was simply to recall the days when hospital doctors and gynaecologists in particular enjoyed their training at medical school and then went on to become specialists. These times were often punctuated by hilarious experiences and a lively feeling of hospital comradary which is so lacking today. Des lives in London with his wife who is also a doctor and two young daughters. As a self confessed “petrol head” Des has accumulated no less than 17 classic motorcycles and cars, as well as a campervan and a boat much to the frustration of his hard suffering wife.
