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..)
