If laughter is the best medicine then Dr Dave Baldwin's Healthy Bastards is the essential remedy for every bloke with concerns about his health. It's a well-known fact that men would rather suffer great agonies in silence than visit the doctor, so using humour and plain language Dr Dave defuses any fears, misguided notions or hang-ups men may have about their personal well-being. This guide, aimed at the common man and his common health problems, explains how the different parts of the body work, major diseases and their symptoms, plus how to get them fixed or how to avoid them in the first place. Dr Dave's best patient is the somewhat disease-prone Gav McAvedy, who appears throughout the book with various complaints. Summaries and key points mean you don't even have to read the whole chapter. There is a bonus chapter on women's health to help every bloke understand his sheila just that little bit more. Flying doctor Dave, originally self published this book for his pilot patients. Now repackaged to work for the every day kiwi bloke , this accessible guide will be a sure fire hit.

I would like to emphasise that there is a very serious

point to the book. Somehow important health

messages have to be drilled into the scones of ‘real

blokes’, because the statistics show that they are

dying much earlier than everyone else.
