Reading is the best medicine
Wouldn’t it be better if fish swam in waiting room drinking water dispensers? Why is the receptionist in the doctor’s office always so damned good-looking? Why is one physician so uncommunicative and the other so talkative? And especially: What does all of this have to do with me?
Mariana Leky carries out humorous field research in the medical practice. “Der Nächste bitte” is a book for everyone who wants to amuse himself and stay healthy at the same time. Because reading is the best medicine.
