A Dublin Student Doctor An Irish Country Novel

Before Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly became a seasoned practitioner in the colorful Ulster village of Ballybucklebo, he was a young medical student in 1930s Dublin. In this installment of the 'Irish Country' series, Patrick Taylor takes readers back to O'Reilly’s formative years at Trinity College. The story follows Fingal as he navigates the rigors of medical school, the daunting expectations of his professors, and the harsh realities of providing care in the city's impoverished tenements. Amidst his medical training, Fingal falls for the beautiful nurse Kitty O'Hallorhan, a relationship that must weather the challenges of his demanding career and the approaching shadows of World War II. 'A Dublin Student Doctor' provides a rich, historical look at the making of a doctor, blending Taylor's signature humor with the poignant struggles of a young man learning to balance the science of medicine with the art of compassion.
