Thanks for stopping by. The entries posted here during my time working with Doctors Without Borders, or Medecins Sans Frontieres, have ended up providing the raw material for what's now - after three years of writing - this book, 'Band-Aid for a Broken Leg: Being a Doctor Without Borders, and Other Ways to Stay Single.' 

All images below relate to the stories of the people that feature in the book, but I've regrettably removed much of the accompanying text due to overlap with the published work. That said, the first chapter can be read online by clicking here. 

The book is a true story of my time in the field, and I hope that it'll be seen not as an endorsement of any one organisation, nor a rebuke, but rather for what it is: a tale about some extraordinary people I met - people who just happen to live in extremely difficult circumstances. In the words of the publishers, it's  'A powerful, heart-breaking, surprisingly funny, honest and ultimately uplifting account of life on the medical frontline, and a moving testimony of the work done by Medecins Sans Frontieres and the extraordinary and sometimes eccentric people who work for it.'

It's available from most major retailers (and minor ones, too!) in both ebook and paper formats, and reviews can be found here, and here, while my bald head can be seen talking away about volunteering - and more importantly how to prepare for it - in this Reuters clip. If you'd like to contact me, I have an active Facebook page, and I also Tweet occasionally when I can remember how to login. 

Anyway, that's enough plugging. Please browse, enjoy the images in these pages, and get in touch if you'd like to know more. 

Cheers!
