Lucy O'Hagan
I am a doctor writer, speaker, performer GP teacher and mentor.
Book: Everything but the medicine. A doctor's tale.
'Stunning' Glenn Colquhoun.
'One of the best books of non-fiction of 2025' Steve Braunias
My main subject is the relationship between doctors, patients and stories. Or perhaps another way of saying it is 'Everything except the medicine'. Medicine is a fantastic tool but illness is told through the medium of story.
