Shakespeare's Insults for Doctors

Format: Hardback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £11.32
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Now there's a way for patients who've lost their patience to get back at health care professionals by quoting one or more of over 185 humorous, snobbishly rude one-liners - all written by William Shakespeare, the best barb-slinger of them all. Doctors, too, can add an acerbic edge to their bedside manner or one-up their big-ego colleagues. Illustrated for those who believe that a picture is worth a thousand insults, Shakespeare's Insults for Doctors has slurs at the ready for patients to give to doctors on the hospital experience, medicines and treatments, and fees; and for doctors to give to patients on health and fitness, diagnosis, prognosis, and patients from hell. And to make insulting even easier, Hill and Ottchen have matched witticisms to medical specialties, including general practitioners; brain surgeons; internists; proctologists; osteopaths; dentists; eye, ear, nose, and throat physicians; dermatologists; plastic surgeons; psychiatrists; and sex therapists.
