Great funny book, it’s very insightful and easy listening. It can be a little graphic at times, if you like your funny medical books, this is a must!

Great read if you’re not squeamish

Not a book for the medically squeamish but coming from a nursing background I found this book fascinating!! If I knew of its existence I may of had gone for a job like this!!

A Really Interesting Insight to the UK Flying Drs

I throughly throughly enjoyed this audiobook. 10 out of 10. I didn't even realise this was a job! I would very much like to hear more medical adventures from Dr. MacFarlane. Narration was also excellent.

I really hope there is a sequel.

I loved everything about this story and finding out about other people's stories of becoming ill abroad. The insight into the life of a repatriation doctor is really fascinating. Great book!

Make me, as a 53 yr old bricklayer want to go to med school :) What a job, good and bad. Had this sitting there for a while not knowing if I fancied it but couldn’t stop listening. Excellent narration.
