Summary
An exhilarating insight into the life of a doctor at Heathrow Airport, where the truth is often stranger than fiction.
For over a decade, Stephanie Green was a doctor on-call for one of the world's busiest airports, confronting dramatic, bizarre and sometimes heart-breaking situations. During her 24-hour shifts at Heathrow, Dr Green had to be ready for anything: from finding an abandoned suitcase leaking blood onto the carousel, to discovering a man smuggling heroin in a corset.
It's a job that brought her into contact with all walks of life; her patients included drug mules and fugitives, schizophrenics and stowaways, refugees and tourists. And with the threats of a nerve agent poisoning or a Level Four viral epidemic always in the back of her mind, Dr Green found herself on the frontline where the decisions are made about who - or what - was allowed to leave the airport's borders.
THE HEATHROW DOCTOR reveals the thrilling drama that takes place behind-the-scenes of an airport and what is needed to make critical decisions in this hidden no-man's land of geopolitics, terror, tragedy and medicine.

A very enjoyable listen
The only criticism I have is that the book is not long enough! It was a very enjoyable listen and I would have quite happily listened to another 4 hours of it . The narrator's voice is that of a classic English rose and the book was very easy to listen to.

Love it!
I would never suspect that some airports have doctors on site and this was nice discovery as whole story is amazing and worth to learn.
If you have any interest / experience in aviation and airport operations you will love it! Very interesting and good read. I really enjoyed whole book!!
Sometimes illness example may seem pretty simple but whole story is really good. Amazing book, really nice to listen.
If you don’t know much about aviation you will definitely find this book very informative and intriguing sometimes.
