Frog in my Throat

by Dr Bernard Preston, DC

Frog in my Throat is a humorous, yet serious book, about a chiropractor's life. Son of two chiropractors, his daughter a chiropractor, Dr Preston is eminently positioned to tell it from the inside.



Bernard Preston D.C.

This chiro', he wrote about frogs,

Then changed his allegiance to clogs,
But really quite batty,
He always looks tatty,
And now can only write blogs!



Starting with a confrontation with a gynaecologist to whom Dr Preston referred a patient (he said it was unethical to accept a referral from a chiropractor!), Preston takes us through the trials and tribulations of a young doctor in practice.

The book is laced with stories of Preston's life outside the practice - but always related to his profession. Amusing, tragic stories about his passion for gliding, bee-keeping and his other hobbies.

What makes it real is the picture painted in words from the other side of the desk. Patients love his books, realising perhaps for the first time that doctors are just ordinary people with all the same goals as the rest of society. Dressed in white coats are some doctors just highwaymen dressed in a different garb? asks Preston. Doctors too get sick, and they can also suffer from depression, or break an ankle, just like the rest of us.

The book ends with an intriguing story in which Preston decides to give up practice. "The chiropractic shoe is pinching my foot," says he. His second book, Bats in my Belfry, tells how his bruised spirit is revived, and he how he continues for many more years in practice, matured and wiser.


"Each time we re-read a book we get more out of it because we put more into it; a different person is reading it, and therefore it is a different book."

- Muriel Clark
