Not Dead Yet: A Long Strange Trip from Doctor to Patient and Back

by Robert Buckman

Robert Buckman is a successful Toronto cancer specialist and comic writer and performer who has collaborated often with John Cleese and other members of the Monty Python gang.From being labelled a "little prick with a needle" in medical school in 1969 to starring in his own British television comedy series to battling a life-threatening auto-immune disease, Dr. Buckman's hilarious take on his life as a doctor and patient also offers a witty and insightful examination of his profession, his patients, himself and the world.Dr. Buckman's brain is definitely connected to his funny bone, and the result is this riotous and endearing memoir.
