A review by julan1027
An Irish Country Doctor by Patrick Taylor
5.0
Young Barry Laverty has just finished his medical training when he seeks out a position in general practice in the small village of Ballybucklebo in Northern Ireland. He joins up with the older, more experienced Fingal O'Reilly and at first is startled by what he sees as Dr. O'Reilly's lack of professional ways. However, over the course of several weeks he comes to admire the man as they deal with some unique situations in the community.
This book was funny and touching and all together pleasant read. On a number of occasions I laughed out loud as Laverty discovered that book learning isn't always as critical as life learning. In many ways it reminded me of James Herriot's "All Things Bright and Beautiful" series, but with people rather than animals. Although, this is definitely more geared to adults.
Can't wait to read the next in the series.
