Ebook About
Most of the antipodean beachcombers were heavy drinkers. It was a way of life with them. An Australian trader consulted me one day because of a serious drink problem he had. ‘I only had ten cans yesterday, doc,’ he said. ‘And today I haven’t had any. I just don’t feel like it. Today’s the first day in ten years I haven’t had a drink.’ I looked at him. He was yellow; he had hepatitis. ‘Well,’ I said, ‘you’ve got hepatitis. That’s why you don’t want to drink. What’s more, you mustn’t drink for at least three months.’ ‘Oh!’ he said.‘And I see from looking at your hospital records that sometimes you vomit blood in the morning.’ ‘Yeah, that’s right.’ ‘It’s not a terribly good sign, you know.’ ‘Oh, isn’t it?’ he said. ‘I thought everyone did it.’ He returned three months later. To my surprise he had not touched a drop. ‘Hey doc!’ he said. ‘I feel terrific, I haven’t felt this good in years. Why’s that then?’‘Why do you think?’ I asked. ‘I don’t know. You’re the doc, you should know.’ ‘Well, for the first time in ten years you haven’t got a hangover.’ ‘Oh.’ A look of deep cogitation passed over his face like the shadow of a cloud over a field on a summer’s day.‘Does that mean I can go back on the beer?’ Some men become doctors out of a noble desire to save lives, or because they seek money and prestige; Anthony Daniels did so because he was middle class, because he had to do something and because his father – not a man to be lightly gainsaid – pushed him into it.But this inauspicious beginning led to a great career – if not as a doctor (though he became a respected consultant psychiatrist), then as a doctor-writer.Both in his own name, and under his better-known nom de plume of Theodore Dalrymple, Daniels is a prolific author whose work has spanned 30 years and much of the globe.His formidable energy is equalled in his prose by a clarity and elegance which few can match, and it is this, as well as his unusual experience, originality of insight and unconventional views (by modern standards), which have won him worldwide acclaim.But although he is read – as Theodore Dalrymple – in almost every country on earth, relatively little is known about him.Fool or Physician, which was his second book and remains his most personal, offers his followers a small insight into his past.It details his reluctant entry into medical school (‘I specialised in doing and knowing the least necessary to pass the examinations’), his earliest ventures in medicine in a small midlands town and his subsequent work overseas when, bored almost to tears by life in the NHS, he travels first to the then-Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa (as a ‘well-meaning liberal’ his ‘problem was to discover where in the world pure evil still confronted pure good, where I could demonstrate that I was on the side of the angels, but at the same time live comfortably and register with the General Medical Council’), and later to the Gilbert Islands, a pacific paradise brimming with drunken expatriates, eccentrics and lunatics.As ever, doctoring was the key to a door, on the other side of which was a different, more interesting life.

Book Fool or Physician: The Memoirs of a Sceptical Doctor Review :



Well, let's get the author's name straight first. Anthony Daniels is the real name of a man who is now much better known under his pen name, Theodore Dalrymple. Daniels chose the name as sounding sufficiently dyspeptic and curmudgeonly. Well, to judge from this very early book of his, he went looking for misery and (surprise!) managed to find it!His first stop was Rhodesia, before it became Zimbabwe, and he also spent significant time in South Africa. He was a young radical, and returned to England to write an anti-South-African novel, which has blessedly disappeared, according to the author himself. "Thank God such an immature effort never went before the public with my name chained to it."His next stop was the East End of London, with all the horrors attendant on that terrifying place, and Daniels / Dalrymple has many interesting tales to tell. But I think the most interesting is the tale that is not told, the tale of Dalrymple himself growing up and reaching maturity --- and taking retirement from the National Health Service as soon as it became available, so that he could devote himself full-time to his writing.He has enemies aplenty, who think strange thoughts like this: "Dalrymple did not show enough empathy to the suicidal man in the East End" --- while reading the story will make you realize that the doctor was used as a clown and a victim at every step of the way. The great beached whale had swallowed umpteen life-threatening pills, and mooed "I want to die" while Dalrymple used every trick in his bag to get the great whale to vomit those pills up, which he finally did in a passage you may not want to read. I forget what happened to the whale, but I cannot forget the poor female with him who was counting on their marriage in two weeks. Dalrymple staggered home at 4 A.M. having accomplished little or nothing.In any case, this is excellent reading. Evidently some new publishers are bringing all of his earlier books back into print. Hooray!
I love Anthony Daniels, otherwise known as Theodore Dalrymple. This is an early book about his early life, and he was different from the way I had pictured him. He's such a wise man that I thought his life must have been very purposeful and his becoming a physician a chosen life path. On the contrary, he sort of fell into it and wandered around trying to find a way to fit in and not be bored to tears or oppressed by irrational authority. I think it is this quality of not following a set path -- and being such an acute observer -- that makes him so interesting. His time in Africa is especially fascinating as he worked there during a time of change from colonialism to anti-colonialism, and relates what he experienced without political correctness. Lest this description make him seem overly earnest, his writing is also often very funny, he has a kind heart, and the book is a good read.
