The proud owner of a spanking-new medical degree, Barry jumps at the chance to secure a position as an assistant in a small rural practice. At least until he meets Dr. Fingal Flahertie OReilly. The older physician, whose motto is never let the patients get the upper hand, has his own way of doing things, which definitely takes some getting used to. At first, Barry can't decide if the pugnacious O'Reilly is the biggest charlatan he has ever met, or possibly the best teacher he could ever hope for. Ballybucklebo is a long way from Belfast, and Barry soon discovers that he still has a lot to learn about country life. But if he sticks with it, he just might end up finding out more about life and love than he could ever have imagined back in medical school. 167316 6 2 2007 An Irish Country Doctor total:696|5:124|4:271|3:225|2:65|1:11| 696 2520 1058 241 1 2 true false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Feb 29 07:58:26 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 29 08:00:56 -0800 2008 4 1 true false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 29 08:05:28 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 29 08:23:31 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 2 false false Wed Mar 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 20 20:21:37 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 11 15:35:51 -0700 2009
