I laughed, and cried - and then laughed some more. I work in the medical field and have had the opportunity to work in various countries in Africa (other than South Africa) - so I related to the story telling, the humour and the people! Great read!

One of my best reads this year. Great writing. Medically sound and takes you on a journey!
