Quirky doctor Fingal O´Reilly from the Northern Irish town of Ballybucklebo is for readers I know kindly humorous doctor series well. He knows how to treat his patients - among whom there are some really quirky figures - but hides a heart of gold under his rough skin. What were his student years like?
The life of a medical student, that long period of fun and student antics of four friends, interrupted now and then by panic, is heading towards the final exams. Fingal has managed to pick out the eternal student Bob, but he himself is taking up his time with the beautiful sister Kitty O'Hallorhan, so now he is in danger of not advancing to the next year... And how will he deal with the sycophantic nerd Fitzpatrick, who cunningly ingratiates himself with the professors - Fingal and his friends will not let this go unpunished!
The first operation comes, the joy of the first cured patient, but also the first encounter with death. Will Fingal make a good doctor? The teachers warn him and preach a professional distance from the patient, but the young adept knows that medicine is not just an expertise, that it is a mission.
