'We wanted to thank you for all you did for mum over the years,' said Mrs Cobham.
Excitedly, I peered into the plastic bag hoping perhaps for a bottle of something fizzy and vintage. Inside was one small loaf of sliced bread (white).
'Erm... thank you,' I stammered. 'Well, that's lovely.'
She nodded and smiled. 'It was the least we could do, doctor,' she said.
Welcome to the bizarre world of Tony Copperfield - an ordinary GP working at an ordinary doctor's surgery.
Dr Copperfield spends his life fighting off the 'worried well' armed with internet printouts, elderly sex maniacs and hopeless hypochondriacs. He mops up vomit, worries about the impact of the latest health scare, bangs his head against the wall when dealing with medical bureaucrats... oh, and sometimes he helps the sick.
If you've ever wondered why you can't get an appointment when you need one, what your doctor really thinks of you or what that strange buzzing in your ear is then Sick Notes is for you.
'A mix of the hilarious, the mundane and the poignant. Dr Copperfield reveaels what goes on behind surgery doors' - The Daily Mail
'Copperfield is simply fantastic, unbelievably funny and improbably wise... everything he writes is truer than fact' - British Medical Journal
'Original, funny, an incredible read' - The Sun
