Welcome back to the wacky world of Doctor Beach Conger and his practice as a country doctor in Dumster, Vermont. Since we last heard from Doctor Conger in Bag Balm and Duct Tape, he decided to become a serious writer in lieu of practicing medicine. Here Doc Conger relays the story of how he trundled off to Norway to pursue the craft for "as long as it takes."It turned out to take only three weeks. Literary aspirations aside, Conger returned to Dumster only to find that his patients had deserted him en masse for a junior colleague who is honest, punctual and humble and who treats her patients as actual people. After trying unsuccessfully to imitate the ways of Doctor Smart, Conger resorted to a series of questionable machinations to try and win his prodigal patients back to the fold.Both zany and perceptive, Conger provides a wry look at how the human spirit can collide with the modern world in It's Not My Fault.
