Moments. A personal anthology from the life of a peripatetic physician

Moments charts the intriguing journey of a Scottish doctor's life, traversing  twelve countries across five continents, on a rollercoaster ride of personal and professional experiences. Spanning sixty years and embracing six themes (clinical, sublime, terrifying, salutary, quirky and eclectic, the thirty-six informative and entertaining vignettes explore the beauty and complexity of the human condition.

Dramatic narratives such as  "A night on Shawanabis Lake" and "Encounter on the Falls Road" complement the quiet reflections of "Morag's last journey" and "Compassionate companions" and the wry humour of "Drama on the Bass Highway" and The chick magnet."

These moments embellish the stories contained in the author's recently published memoir, "The Last, The Least, The Lonely and The Lost" - a captivating reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the profound impact of fleeting encounters that shape our lives in ways both profound and inexplicable. Read, pause, ponder and cherish these moments.
