Description

Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly made most readers' acquaintance in Patrick Taylor's bestselling novel An Irish Country Doctor. These warm and wryly amusing vignettes provide an early glimpse at the redoubtable Dr. O'Reilly as he tends to the colourful and eccentric residents of Ballybucklebo. An ex-Navy boxing champion, classical scholar, and hard-working general practitioner, Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly is cantankerous in rural Irish life. Whether he's educating a naive man of the cloth in the facts of life, dealing with chronic hypochondriacs, or clashing with pigheaded colleagues, the wily O'Reilly knows a doctor's work is never done, even if some of his "cures" can't be found in any medical text!
