Dr Max Skittle
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.

Humour and honesty from a GP
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.

The Secret Doctor
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!

Almost Switched Off! Glad I Didn't
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????

Heartwarming and funny stories
This was a great listen! The stories were heart-warming but funny anecdotes of a GP's personal and professional life. The only negative was the concluding chapter which was an inane commentary on life that was an anticlimax to the whole book. Get the book but ignore the final chapter is my advice!

A very easy to listen to book
I wasn't sure how this was going to play out, but I managed to wrap it up in a week of driving to and from work, making the odd detour just so I could hear more of the story. I was actually sad when It finished as Max has a very funny way of telling a story. A great listen.

Whinge whinge whinge
If its too hot in the kitchen etc, get out. Boring. You’re not SO interesting that I have to listen to your bad language and complaining.
Have a listen to Dr. Benaroch for great stories. 3 years as Gp does not give you anywhere near the ability to write a book. Awful.
