Very different from what I expected. I thought it would be anecdotes and interesting events in a doctor's life. Instead, it was a wordy spiel from a doctor who thought himself superior to almost everyone and who liked to hear himself talk. He was occasionally humorous when he was being acerbic, but almost never when he was trying to be funny. He was anti-church, anti-God, and loved to insult people who were less intelligent or poorer than himself (sometimes rightly so, but often just being a jerk). He went on and on about his education,his hospital, and his brilliance in determining when people were suffering from psychosomatic ailments (although that's not what he called them). He wrote about women's issues, but used so many euphemisms and was so obscure that I often had no idea what he was talking about—and he didn't give me a reason to try to figure it out.
