"The author who is also a doctor who works with struggling young people at the margins, painfully aware of the limits of his role. In this BWB Text he offers penetrating insight into the little he feels he is able to achieve as a GP and youth worker. It is, he says, a song of redemption... [his] account builds to radical proposals for New Zealands primary health care, designed to reconnect our health system with the more vulnerable and less resourced parts of our society."--Publisher information.
