Chronicle Books The Many Deaths of Scott Koblish
Book SynopsisMarvel Comics artist Scott Koblish (Deadpool, Spider-Man) has been illustrating his own demise for many years in morbidly funny, 4-panel black-and-white comics. He''s the one person struck by a comet, suddenly overrun by a pack of baboons, resting under the precarious rock tipped by a single bird, or the target of his daughter''s (of course homicidal) teddy bear come to life. Though it''s always Scott on the receiving end, the comics perfectly capture that irrational feeling we all have that everything can go very wrong in one irrevocable instant. Slapstick, surreal, and eerily plausible, with extended scenarios and pops of color throughout, this collection of cosmic reckonings shows that, if the end is nigh, at least you''ll die laughing.Trade Review"In four-panel pages he has imagined himself being defenestrated, knocked down in the street, knocked off a mountain, murdered by monkeys, scorpions, cats, aeroplanes, eaten by monster trees and plain common or garden monsters." -- Herald Scotland"this funny, breezy collection ends up being one of the year's most bizarrely life-affirming reads." -- NPR

Clinical Press Ltd National Elf Service: ...Not the NHS
Book SynopsisPaul R Goddard, a retired consultant radiologist, has taken a Swift-like move and penned a slim satirical cartoon book. A former President of various medical societies including the Radiology Section of the Royal Society of Medicine, the Bristol Medico Chirurgical Society and the MRRA (UK), Professor Goddard is no stranger to controversy. His witty cartoons will cause much merriment amongst the workers in the National Elf Service, apart, perhaps, from some of the less discerning management and political acolytes (the more discerning will undoubtedly also enjoy the book!). There is an Elf Service in Cloud Cuckoo Land, a place that is sometimes known as Faerie and Elfdom. It is strange how the National Elf Service seems to mirror our own wonderful NHS but is peculiarly different.....in our system the patients are not cranked in on a giant conveyor belt such that a new patient arrives even as the last is leaving the surgery....and there is no huge physical gulf between the managers and the clinical staff as management try to pull the doctors over the cliff edge onto the rocks of despair! (Are you sure? ed.) In Faerie (Cloud Cuckoo Land?) the Right Horrible Jellybean Shunt is in charge...so different from our own world but eerily similar. He seems to think that the junior dwarves (doctors?) can work ten days a week. To find out what happens you will have to either purchase the book or steal one from some unsuspecting NHS worker who has placed his copy within easy reach. This book will make a great present for anyone who works in the health services... perhaps as a birthday or Christmas gift for a real worker or as a retirement present for a higher management acolyte?Trade ReviewFor those who do not know him, the author Prof Goddard is one of those highly irritating people who never give up making annoying observations, but thats only if you're a pompous, overinflated Health service administrator. He is a thorn in the side of the top-heavy bureaucracy that clogs the wheels of our NHS, the confederacy of dunces who, Pére Ubu-like, emit clouds of bullshit and bureau-speak while the front line troops toil and sweat. This is no finely honed erudite scientific paper suitable for the august pages of the Lancet or British Medical Journal. Nor is it a polite, well-reasoned series of debating points about NHS reform under our present leaderships, for the Spectator or Guardian. Rather, it is a volley of furious polemic from a hardened warrior in the battlefield of today's National Health Service, a blast from both barrels of a sawn-off shotgun rather than a deft rapier thrust. Buy this book, if you are an NHS elf or dwarf, like a good belly laugh, or use the NHS and wonder whats going on in it. - StefanThis delightful little book emerged from a lecture given by the author about the loss of the art of clinical medicine. It will take you half an hour to read. The cartoons drawn by the author support a text whose ease of reading belies the wisdom that unerringly puts its finger on exactly what has gone wrong with our beloved National Elf Service (NES), and why. The cartoons at times seem to remind us of a combination of Calman (Mel, not Kenneth) and the Simpsons, but never fail to support the points made about serious issues. This is the kind of book that can be easily passed around amongst kindred spirits, and whose gentle but perceptive touch amuses, but strikes deep chords of recognition of the threats we all know are stalking our National Elf Service. - Dr Paul Main 30th August 2016This little book of satire is composed of cartoons, written and drawn by Paul Goddard. The author is a retired Radiologist. This is a book for a read on a train or short plane journey and is inexpensive (less than 2 gallons of petrol!). While the book will be of interest to mature consultants, especially those approaching retirement (or even retired) as a reminder of times gone by it should be read by others including younger consultants and trainees. In an easy to read and well-illustrated little book Professor Goddard touches with gentle satire such topics as super-specialisation, over investigation, rising malpractice, clinical freedom, mentorship, rising political and societal expectations, drug interactions, complexity of medicine, the loss of Matron, working time directives and much more. Throughout there are satirical comments on modern NHS management. At first sight it is a book of satire, it is readable and would be valuable for senior and junior doctors and their managers to browse through not all in the past was good but not all was bad either we can learn from the past as the NHS of the future unfolds this little book is a useful, painless way of so doing. - Professor Roy Spence, OBE, MA, MD, LLD (Hon), FRCS, Consultant Surgeon

Clinical Press Ltd Fake News: An Approximately True Analysis of Fake
Book SynopsisIs lying a sin? Is Theresa May a robot or a shape changing lizard? Is there such a thing as an inalienable human right? What will happen if Jacob Rees-Mogg does embrace his freedom and stand on his own two feet? These questions and many more are addressed in Paul R Goddards latest book, Fake News, or to give the book its full title An Approximately True Analysis of Fake News. The book is a short paperback packed full of scurrilous ideas and cartoons. It is subtitled The Book of Lying and Propaganda due to the fact that fake news has been with the human race ever since its inception. This book explains why we lie, suggests ways to spot lies and describes the history of propaganda and spin. It touches on difficult subjects such as fakery in medicine, science, politics and religion and is illustrated throughout by Goddards self-penned cartoons. From the Foreword by Chris Beetles: This book is worthless and subversive and deserves to be shredded. Resist temptation to give it as a jolly present to your friends All right, all right, have it your way enjoy this very funny book if you must, read it three times a day after meals, but dont say I didnt warn you when you feel a whole lot better.

TFM Publishing Ltd A view from the head end: Medical cartoons to
Book SynopsisChoosing an easy life as an anaesthetist over the cut and thrust of art college, Steve Yentis has been drawing medical cartoons, whilst waiting for surgeons to turn up or his regional blocks to work, for the last 20 years. This collection of drawings represents a wry look at life in the operating theatre, wards and clinic, as seen from the Head End, which is, of course, by far the more important end. Appealing to anyone who has ever worked in a hospital, this book will help pass the time during those long periods of inactivity between audit meetings. Exam candidates in particular will find it contributes absolutely nothing to their chances of success.
