Dr Phil reflects on life, the death of two dads, and his mum still gate-vaulting at eighty. And he considers his own death. Is it possible not to kill yourself before your time, yet die gently when your time comes? Can we live and die with pleasure, purpose, compassion and modest medical interference? Laugh and plan your exit. Dr Phil is an NHS doctor working in chronic fatigue, a Private Eye journalist, BBC broadcaster, comedian and author of Sex, Sleep or Scrabble? 'One of the most entertainingly subversive people on the planet' (The Guardian).
