Recently retired, Dr Sparrow reveals with refreshing candour and dark humour the most memorable experiences of his career as a rural GP.
From the call-out where he sewed a patient’s chiselled finger back on, to the emergency countryside delivery inspired by James Herriot, to suddenly remembering the body he left in the back of a Volvo. Not to mention a small oversight that blew up the local crematorium.
Dr Sparrow's adventures along the Devon/Cornwall border would be utterly unbelievable were they not 100% true. His bedside manner may sometimes leave a little to be desired but if you're in dire straits this doctor will have you in stitches.

...Dr Sparrow had to figure out what to do with an unidentified corpse blocking the cowshed just as the herd were due for milking. ...Dr Sparrow’s patient was abducted by aliens ...Dr Sparrow located the most unusual bodily whereabouts of a jar of Coleman’s mustard ...Dr Sparrow resuscitated the wrong patient ...Dr Sparrow was held at gunpoint for being a suspected terrorist
