A little boy tells in the first person all about his family doctor, Dr Toby. He explains about the receptionist at the surgery, about some of the equipment in Dr Toby's office, about Dr Toby's 'pager', and about how Dr Toby sometimes sees him at home in an emergency. He talks about other specialist doctors too, and how people become doctors. A simple, general introduction. This is Australian, so there are slight differences in practice.
