"There are few people who will not react instantly to this book, from involuntary chuckles to howls of laughter.
It gathers together hundreds of choice 'boobs' perpetrated by nurses in their written answers to nursing examination papers. They have been slowly collected over the years by a well-known medical consultant who has adopted the pseudonym of Roger Brook, and they are illustrated - some what irreverently - By Timothy Birdsall, one of Britain's most talented young artists.
Nurses are almost unique in earning the unstinting admiration of us all. Grossly overworked, drastically underpaid, it is small wonder that occasionally, in the examination room, their wits desert them. Fortunately a keen sense of humour is not the least of their attributes and this hilarious book is unlikely to have more appreciative readers than nurses themselves."
