Docteur, puis-je vous voir... avant six mois ?

Synopsis of Docteur, puis-je vous voir... avant six mois ?

«Docteur, puis-je vous voir... avant six mois ?» is the humour novel by Nicole de Buron, published by Pocket in paperback (224 pages, in French).

A power cut and a step that gives way cause the narrator's fall, leaving her unable to walk for weeks. In A&E the diagnoses are fanciful, the X-rays are read according to the doctor's mood, and her GP is away travelling in Nepal. The author turns her own fracture into a Molièresque satire of the healthcare chaos.

Complete text in French. Pocket edition of 2004; the work was originally published in 2003. Pocket collection, no. 12036.

For those seeking a light, optimistic comedy about the absurdities of the medical world.
