I'm sure I've read one of Dr Bill's books already. Wasn't it the one with the line:
"Aw, Topsy just growed and growed"?

OK, you've got some titles. Now let some friendly ghost write it. Will share proceeds generously.

well what kind of book is it? fiction or non?
if fiction-- heroic? or medical murder mystery?
if non-- history? biography? layman's book? text book? essays like "lives of a cell" by Lewis Thomas, or interesting cases, like Oliver Sacks writes..

I am for non fiction, and interesting cases like oliver sacks-- but i think i would tend to go for the more lurid stories..

(i should look up the interesting one about a woman whose IUD, a copper coil, started to slip from her uterus into her vagina.. and snared her parter(guess where and when!) it was in a medical journal.. somewhere back in early 90's..)

Given Dr Bill's specialty, how about:

'A cigar is a cigar is a cigar'
Musings on Washington interns after Gertrude Stein

A very ancient joke updated. A guy took a double dose of Viagra which caused him to have a maximal erection on very little stimulation. He had date to go dancing, and hoping to avoid embarrassment, taped his penis very securely to his leg. The first dance had hardly begun when the hostess made a 911 phone call to have an ambulance sent to the dance hall, because there was a man lying on the floor with his leg up in the air, unable to get it down.

Body of Knowledge


Sorry, sweetie, that's anastrophe. It should be, at least in Dr Bill's case, "Knowledge of Body"

All those titles and no volunteer ghost writers. Generous sharing of proceeds still offered.

throw momma from the train....

and no volunteer ghost writers.

Who would be the best ghost to approach to write Dr Bill's book?
The late lamented Hank Jansen used to make quite a good job of bodies, and his sexy interludes would perhaps be appropriate for a work from this source?

How about the Man In Grey?
