Description

Welcome to the life of Dr Max Skittle. Therapist, relationship counsellor, social worker, friend, parent-figure – and, yes: doctor.

Join Max – and his patients – as he takes us on a rollercoaster journey through a year in the life of a doctor: from infected toenails, to wonky elbows, to erectile disfunction, to bed bugs; the happy couple expecting a surprise new baby; the teenage girl struggling with body image issues; the loving family grappling with grief, Max shows us all the highs and crushing lows that come with being a GP – and how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed all our lives forever.

This is what really goes on in your local doctor s surgery – spilt urine bottles, existential crises, emails back and forth with social services, utterly unexplainable health problems and appointments always running late – told by a man who, despite it all, really loves his job.
