If You Faint, Fall Backwards! is a book which should be prescribed reading for those feeling that time has overlooked them. It is a book of warming good medicine.

Frank Madill ends his story buying a run-down farm at Nunamara and is all set to write another book about that. If its as entertaining as this one it will be worth waiting for.

These are stories about a time when the family doctor was more than just a physician: he was a councellor, an arbiter, a confidante and a friend.

‘If you faint, fall backwards!’ depicts a country practice at its best - funny, sad, inspiring, reflective and, above all human. If you have ever wondered what life is really like as a country GP, then look no further. Pour a cup of something soothing, sit back and enjoy the journey.

Many and varied, these entertaining and evocative stories make very enjoyable reading and give a good insight into the life of a general practitioner and also the Tasmania of the day.
