About the Book
This collection of cartoons features all the stars of the current health system: the beleaguered minister. Mary Harney; the computer system that never worked; the chaotic A & E departments where even trolleys are scarce: mercenary consultants and the sellers of health foods and alternative medicines that promise the earth - but cost the earth as well. Acutely observant, hilarious, and, above all, true, the cartoons in this collection hold a mirror up to a central aspect of Irish life. The surprising thing is that so little has changed since Aongus Collins began this series of health cartoons in 2003.
