“It’s through the telling of stories that we make sense of ourselves and each other.”

This is the mantra of Dr Lucy O’Hagan who will perform her extraordinary one-woman show Inside the GP Consultation as an introduction to a discussion about her brilliantly warm, wise and candid book Everything but the Medicine: A Doctor’s Tale.

Presented as part of HamLit26, Hamilton Arts Festival Toi Ora ki Kirikiriroa, with thanks to Hamilton City Council, Creative Communities Scheme and Poppies Book Store.
