Medicine and Other Topics is the story of Scottish-born GP AJ Tulloch, from his two-year RAF National Service in the 1950s, which took him to Egypt, through to his becoming a partner in a practice in Bicester, Oxfordshire. Along the way, we learn of his interest in Structured Records Systems, Geriatrics and Obstetrics.

A mix of political and social commentary from a retired doctor, steeped in the traditions of the National Health Service, this book comes at a time when the issues discussed could not be more relevant. NHS underfunding, tax-cuts for the rich and Brexit, have contributed to the crisis in health that Britons today face, in Dr. Tulloch's opinion.

Dr. Tulloch offers a personal, vivid, warm-hearted autobiography, coupled with an examination of life in Britain, past and present.

Born and raised in Scotland, AJ Tulloch trained as a doctor at Aberdeen University before undertaking his two-year National Service in the RAF. Having qualified as a GP in 1950 he worked in Coventry for two years before becoming a partner in a practice in Bicester. He developed special interests in Structured Records Systems, something that could have saved the NHS millions and care of the elderly.In 1987, at the age of 61, he retired and since then has travelled widely, accompanied by his wife Christine. These adventures have taken them all over the world, including many river cruises in Europe. He was a keen sportsman, though at the age of 95 he finds a brisk walk suffices.In Medicine and Other Topics he also offers forthright opinions on the state of the NHS, politics, and fond memories of colleagues in Britain and America. Alistair Tulloch has three grown-up children and several grandchildren and lives in Bicester, Oxfordshire.
