Historia
Barry Laverty, M.B., can barely find the village of Ballybucklebo on a map when he first sets out to seek gainful employment there, but already he knows that there is nowhere he would rather live than in the emerald hills and dales of Northern Ireland. The proud owner of a spanking-new medical degree and little else in the way of worldly possessions, Barry jumps at the chance to secure a position as an assistant in a small rural practice. At least until he meets Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly.

Historia
Imagine a young doctor, trained in the latest medical knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment, suddenly transported back to one of the world’s most isolated and unforgiving environments - Nome, Alaska. That’s what happen to Dr. Sims. His plans to become a pediatric surgeon were drastically changed when, on the eve of being drafted into the army to serve as a MASH surgeon in Vietnam, he was offered a commission in the US Public Health for assignment in Anchorage, Alaska, where he was scheduled to act as chief of pediatrics at the Alaska Native Medical Center.

Historia
In the late 1990s, a young physician in Albuquerque, New Mexico, published a stunning memoir of his experiences in the highly charged world of the ER. Presented in a series of powerful, poetic vignettes, The Blood of Strangers became an instant classic. Now, over two decades later, Dr. Frank Huyler delivers another dispatch from the trenches—this time from the perspective of middle age. In portraits visceral, haunting, sometimes surreal, Huyler reveals the gritty reality of medicine practiced on the razor’s edge between life and death.

Returning to practice after a suspension for stealing opioids, a young doctor takes the only job he can find: a post as a physician at the struggling St. Luke's Hospital in east London. Amid the maelstrom of sick patients, overworked staff and underfunded wards, a more insidious secret soon declares itself: too many patients are dying. And a murderer may be lurking in plain sight.

Michelle Williams, an attractive young woman with close family ties and an active social life, describes her first extraordinary year in her unusual new job as a mortuary technician. It’s a year in which, with innate good humour, she encounters death at its most tragic, bizarre, and hilarious. Her tale, neither gruesome nor sad, is enlivened by a range of colourful and eccentric characters, from pathologists and coroners to hospital porters and undertakers, giving us a glimpse of life - and death - that few of us will ever experience.

In Jennifer Craig's enchanting memoir, we meet these warm-hearted yet naïve young girls as they get to grips with strict discipline, long hours and bodily fluids. But we also see the camaraderie that develops in evening study sessions, sneaked trips to the cinema and mischievous escapades with the young trainee doctors. The harsh conditions prove too much for some girls, but the opportunity to help her patients in their time of need is too much of a pull for Jenny.

San Francisco's Laguna Honda Hospital is the last almshouse in the country, a descendant of the Hôtel-Dieu (God's hotel) that cared for the sick in the Middle Ages. Ballet dancers and rock musicians, professors and thieves - "anyone who had fallen, or, often, leapt, onto hard times" and needed extended medical care - ended up here. So did Victoria Sweet, who came for two months and stayed for 20 years. Laguna Honda, lower-tech but human-paced, gave Sweet the opportunity to practice a kind of attentive medicine that has almost vanished.

A journalistic masterpiece. John Hersey transports us back to the streets of Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945 - the day the city was destroyed by the first atomic bomb. Told through the memories of six survivors, Hiroshima is a timeless, powerful classic that will awaken your heart and your compassion. In this new edition, Hersey returns to Hiroshima to find the survivors - and to tell their fates in an eloquent and moving final chapter.

A relatable story
This book is relatable for anyone who has completed their studies and had that harsh step out into the "real world." Dr. Smith hits those bumps in the road and takes them in stride. Listeners can sit back and enjoy his post grad journey and family growth along with great patient stories. I highly recommend this book to people who have (and haven't) worked in the medical field. It has lighthearted and relatable stories and is an easy listen.

Excellent look into Historical Medical Practices in Scotland
Being a retired nurse in USA with heritage from Great Britain I found this book very enlightening, funny and fun to listen to!!! It was with pleasure that I learned at the very end that it was read / narrated by none other than then the author himself!!! Which made it all the more real & enjoyable!!!

From another doctor
The stories ring true from my rural experience. Well illustrates the dictum from Sir William Osler: it's more important to know which patient has the disease than what disease the patient has

Pleasant listening experience
I agree with the other comments. I don't think it's fair to Dr. Smith to compare this book with James Herriot's series. When all is said & done, we are all unique individuals, after all. That said, Dr. Smith's stories have their own warmth and attraction. I especially enjoyed it because, for me, it was a trip to the UK. (I've never traveled beyond North America.) No, you won't laugh with tears running down your cheeks, but you might chuckle a bit. I recommend this as a comfortable, enjoyable listening experience. I don't usually like books that are narrated by the author, but Dr. Smith's voice was pleasing to me. If you think you might be interested, you can always listen to the sample first. This book has no objectionable language, IMO.

Lovely Book!
If you, like me, loved the James Herriott books you will be delighted with this book. Usually I think it is a mistake when the author is also the narrator, but in this case it was perfect! Tom Smith's voice is melodic and pleasant.

Excellent in every way.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would indeed recommend this book. Found it to be heartfelt, humerous and very entertaining.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Seaside Practice?
Sorry, can't pick when there are so many.
What about Tom Smith’s performance did you like?
I loved his Scottish accent and his narration was the best. Write some more Dr. Tom Smith. I'm sure you have a volume or two of your experiences in your practice over the years. You are an excellent narrator and author.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There was more laughing than crying. Of course there were sad parts, this is life after all.
Any additional comments?
I loved this author, he's right up there with Patrick Taylor. I'm looking forward to his next book, I hope he is writing it now!
