BATS IN MY BELFRY

Gems both funny and healthful, from the life and work of a Chiropractor.

In Bats in my Belfry, Bernard Preston, chiropractor, invites you into the intimacy of his consulting room - experience for yourself the relationships that tease, challenge and disturb doctors of every ilk. This is his second book of amusing short stories.



Fresh from a case that threatened his integrity, he finds himself contemplating giving up practice. "The chiropractic shoe is pinching my foot," says he. Helped by the wisdom of his wife, the thrill of his hobbies and the support of patients and friends, can the burnt-out doctor regain balance again in his skewed life?

Preston tells of the inner pain that many and perhaps most doctors experience periodically, and the joys of seeing patients regaining control of their lives, once governed by disabling pain and poor health. Forget your personal aches and pains as you immerse yourself in these true-life experiences. Expect to be stretched as you discover how Preston badgers his patients into happier and healthier life styles.

Reviews

There's not one of us that does not thrive on praise. It costs so little, and makes such a difference to another's life.

Not that there is no place for criticism. One of the reasons that Frog and Bats are such good books, is that editors and readers took much time and effort to make positive criticisms. It's not an editor's job to be kind! And every writer must have a thick skin!

I am delighted to be able to share with you the enthusiastic comments from many readers. For details, click here.

SORRY, FOLKS. NO MORE FREEBEEZ. ENJOYED THE STORIES? NOW IT'S TIME TO BUY THE BOOK!

TIP: There are very few books worth reading twice, considering that if you read a book a month, you will only read 500 odd in your whole life time. Buy BATS IN MY BELFRY and pass it on to as many friends as you like.

Did you know that in Great Britain alone there are 10 000 new books published EVERY MONTH? Don't hoard your books, 'cause you won't read them again. They're just gathering dust.
