A series of laugh-out-loud funny tales about Troy Harvey's visits to various doctors for a variety of ailments. From hypnotherapists to psychologists and GPs, men will relate, and women will enjoy getting a man's perspective on health matters. It's a known fact that males don't like going to the doctor's. Whether it's the discomfort of having a stranger 'get intimate' with you, or just sitting in a waiting room that's infested with germs - most men will go to extreme lengths to put off the inevitable. That's because when we are finally made to go - usually under pressure from someone just trying to stop us complaining - the little things we convince ourselves are nothing serious become blown out of proportion. Indigestion becomes a heart attack. Knee pain becomes MS. A small itch becomes a flesh-eating virus. The possibilities are endless - and in Troy Harvey's case, hilarious...
