Hi Tom, Just finished the book, LOVED it and, having taken your advice, read it before I read the archives (which I'm now going to read to get bang up to date). I think my favourite piece was the description of the race to a call in "Not Breathing" - and wonder if anyone, as I did, found that they were out of breath when they finished it! (I won't spoil the punch line!) In general, a great mix of humour and poignancy and your empathy for the "real" patients shines through - some of the stories of brave little old ladies bring a tear to the eye while those of individuals who look on the LAS as a taxi service beggar belief. SO glad to hear of the book's success. It says much for the shite that the main line booksellers are peddling nowadays that they haven't taken it on (I cite, in particular Wayne Rooney's biog - with 4 more to come!!!). I missed the Q&A opportunity, so can I ask, please: James Herriot chose his nom de plume because he happened to be watching soccer while musing on one - and chose the Birmingham City goalkeeper's name (you could have had Random Acts of Reality by Bruce Grobbelaar!). How did you choose your name? Regards, Dave Rogers
