Memoirs of a Bush Doctor

Memoirs of a Bush Doctor is a diary written by one of a group of five white, privileged young doctors uprooted from their homes in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, and conscripted to complete a year of compulsory Community Service in the heart of rural South Africa. Their hospital, an oasis of brick and concrete amidst the sand roads and corrugated iron surroundings, is the setting for a candid but humorous commentary of South Africa's healthcare. Memoirs of a Bush Doctor is the compelling story of a young man discovering his people, his profession and , above all, himself.
