内容简介 The tranquility of a rural backwater is shattered! The ancient arts of medicine is exposed! Her darling cleft-chinned doctor was forced to fight for his life! It was a time of wiping, a time of bandaging, and of patients and their incessant needs. In a world where nurses never wash their hands, and doctors are the lowest of the low, one enormous nurse stands up for love - a nurse that will make you fart with fear! "Doctors & Nurses" is the medical romance to end all. With her characteristic wit and vitriol, Lucy Ellmann brilliantly anatomises our devotion to Hippocratic oafs.
作者简介 Lucy Ellmann was born in America and moved to Britain when she
was thirteen. Her previous novels are Sweet Desserts (which won the
Guardian Fiction Prize), Varying Degrees of Hopelessness, Man or Mango? and
Dot in the Universe. Lucy Ellmann lives in Edinburgh.

Man or Mango, but also bright, direct and playful—and full of CAPS. After Ellmann's enormous nurse, Jen, takes a job in "A RURAL BACKWATER" of Great Britain with general practitioner Dr. Roger Lewis, her every move is chronicled in excruciating, digressive, sidesplitting detail. ("THE JOB INTERVIEW ITSELF" is followed by "JEN'S BODY," which is followed by "WHAT'S IT REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A BODY?") Jen's obesity is mercilessly harped- on throughout, as are her oversized appetites for food, sex, violence and her handsome new employer—who is married, with children. Roger, who is more than game, happily scams patients and shrugs off lawsuit-worthy mistakes, quickly winning Jen's wicked heart. Their unlikely affair, complicated by annoying patients ("their frequent need to DIE or have BABIES") and Roger's sexual indiscretions, accommodates biting observations on the state of contemporary medicine and romance. Graphic medically and sexually, Ellmann's latest is not for the squeamish, but it's a hilarious exaggeration of a profession's foibles.
