About the Author

Harvey Sagar is Emeritus Professor of Clinical Neurology at the University of Sheffield. Currently, he lives in the Cotswolds. His career as a consultant neurologist led to his first book, Teddy Bear's Triumph, which is a semi-autobiographical account of the training and practice of a hospital doctor. Largely humorous but with some bitter-sweetness and cynicism, it relates anecdotes of relationships with doctors, nurses, patients and lawyers and tells of some time spent in the USA. The second book, DRY Out! is also medically related but is pure humorous fiction. The poetry collections, Come Rhyme With Me and Daisy Chains are lighthearted verse on a variety of everyday and some not-so-everyday subjects. Lines To The Lost is a serious collection of poems related to the emotions of bereavement. For more information, see www.harveysagar.com and www.linestothelost.com
