Leon Piterman weaves many anecdotes about his patients into his critical account of contemporary General Practice. They are not mere case studies but show the compassion which is an element in the make-up of a good doctor as vital as medical training or diagnostic skill. “There’s a lot of it going around” has information, stories and advocacy. It is a book to enjoy and learn from.

I have often heard it said that whoever is in front of you is your teacher. If reading these fascinating, touching and often humorous tales from general practice is anything to go by, Leon Piterman has accumulated more than a lifetime’s wisdom from his patients.
Associate Professor Craig Hassed OAM

I loved reading A GP’s Odyssey. All doctors and medical students will identify with this precious book from an inspirational GP. It will make you laugh, cry and celebrate the unique and valuable role of the generalist in comprehensive patient care. You will love it too.
Clinical Professor Leanne Rowe AM

Sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious the stories in this GP’s odyssey are filled with what makes general practice unique-pumpkin scones, family tragedy, those determined to live and the stoic humble elderly coming to terms with their fate. Ever the great educator, Leon Piterman’s stories has learnings for us all.
Professor Danielle Mazza
