How does a doctor end up making wine? Part medical memoir and part wine memoir - it's a fun read. And Donaldson doesn't take himself too seriously, which always makes for a better memoir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 2014. In the preface Donaldson mentions that he is donating all royalties and profits from his book to NZ Brain Research Trust. I like that intention so the sale price of this preloved edition will be donated to NZ Brain Research Trust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retro Reads","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53425829970220,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/2677\/3548\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_f08df267-27ef-4494-a1f6-ab91a76695cb.jpg?v=1783660633","url":"https:\/\/www.retroreads.co.nz\/products\/the-truant-from-medicine","provider":"Retro Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
