Dr Ahmed Handy, the son of two Iraqi doctors, was born and raised on the streets of East Anglia, the youngest of two brothers. After graduating from medical school in London, fierce competition for training places forced him to unexpectedly re-locate to the Midlands, where he began his training as a junior doctor. Five years later, he qualified as a General Practitioner, and he currently works as a salaried GP and part-time medical educator in the East Midlands. He is happily married with a young son, and is passionate about family, film, theatre, and cheesy dad jokes. Since a young age he has hugely enjoyed writing, with Quacks being his first book. He shall forever be a fervent advocate for the great institution that is our National Health Service, and hopes that it will endure long after him (and his irreverent sense of humour).
'An accessible and entertaining collection of stories and anecdotes; the author comes across as both authentic and passionate. Brought back many memories of my hospital training!' - Dr Michael Christopher, author of The Delusion
