The Marble Corridor and Other Medical Tales
  • Language: en

The Marble Corridor and Other Medical Tales

Set within a South London hospital in the 1970s, 'The Marble Corridor' is the first of four stories which chart the progress of a newly-qualified doctor from houseman to consultant. This first tale tracks the multifarious events of a single weekend spent working 'on-call' and the unremitting pressure creates a sense of tension, which permeates this tale. Towards the end of this marathon stretch of duty, sleep deprivation causes the young doctor to hallucinate and he begins to confuse illusion and reality with some strange and incongruous outcomes. The other three stories continue to document the author's progress through a series of posts, highlighting some ethical and moral issues along with the hierarchical structure which had to be managed to progress in hospital medicine. Here, as in life, humour and tragedy are intertwined.

From his initial interview at St Thomas' Hospital - an institution he chose because he had never heard of it and on that rather dubious basis thought he was more likely to be accepted - to his final exams, the book documents the author's painful progress as an immature seventeen-year-old away from home for the first time. Sexually na've, he devotes much of his time attempting to lose his virginity, while his excessive beer-drinking hampers his success and...

Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease are serious bowel conditions that affect many people of all ages throughout the world today. This is one man’s account of suffering the debilitating UC for 10 years before undergoing stoma surgery for a permanent ileostomy.

Hardly had this begun to sink in before, the operation was changed to a permanent ileostomy leading to further psychological issues. This is an honest account of how Grahame Howard survived the 10 years of UC and coped with the knowledge that stoma surgery was inevitable. Grahame’s Christi...
