Doctor, Have You Got a Minute? »

Tom Smith's previous book was Coping Successfully with Your Hiatus Hernia.

You might make an appointment with your physician to enquire about a persistent cough or a septic toe, but when do you get to ask the questions you really want answered? All those health mysteries—some trivial, some serious, some downright weird—are the ones that really matter, the niggling worries which keep you up at night. Will I age at the same rate as my mother? Could my birthmark be cancerous? Why do women start growing hair on their chins at 35? Is a man's hand size really a sign of the length of his penis? This is your chance to corner a doctor at a party and boldly go where no patient has gone before. Dr. Tom Smith, gently urbane and seemingly unshockable, answers questions with a wit and wisdom that sadly your own doctor just never seems to have time for.
