Once again, Ms Butler captures the amazing stories of Doctor's home visits across the world, with detailed insights into the human psyche. Nothing is left sacred - religion, indigenous cultures, human relationships. Patients' and doctors' fears and loves are dissected with a raw scalpel, revealing the depths of society's best and worst. A great read, even better than the prequel collection.

Black Bag Moon tells the kind of stories I have often wondered about: doctors' stories about patients. Susan Butler has worked with, talked to, eavesdropped on and interviewed many doctors to create a new fictional world full of atmosphere and insight: what does it feel like to be on call at night, when the phone rings and you don't know what's coming; how do you respond to the patient who sees angels on the picture frames; what can you say to bereaved parents; where is the future for the children of unemployed and disappointed parents in an emptying country town?
Each story is narrated by one of several fictional doctors Butler has invented for the book. Along the way we learn something of the doctors' own lives as well as the lives of their patients, and of the difficulties that doctors' spouses face - horribly timed call-outs, ruined meals, spoiled social events, a partner who may be physically present but whose mind is busy with a problem case. The settings range from Australia and New Zealand to southern India, Scotland and the south of England.
Many of the characters are unforgettable: elderly Mrs Dymphna O'Reilly, who has a special reason for requiring visits at a specified time; old Eddie Mayfield, the Aboriginal artist; Mrs Eastley, the wan, just-coping wife of a bipolar vicar; Shep Skurley, Elvis fan and collector of Japanese swords; Hughie Weed, who sees angels on the picture rails; Whoople the Cadger with his two wives. But what comes across, along with the entertainment, the tension and sometimes the sadness, is the doctors' determination to do their best by their patients and their families, often against the odds. Butler's point is that it should be what we can still expect and that doctors should be better supported in providing this kind of care.
The patients are all of us; the doctors are doing their best. The stories reveal another side of human experience with compassion and wit, showing all kinds of people facing difficult, odd or funny situations with the best resource they have: their humanity.
