Overview

'Throughout myyears of practice, people have often asked me why I decided to specialise insexual health. The question is not surprising given that sexual health doctorsare not held in the same regard as those who work in other medical specialties... We sexual health physicians don't grow rich, but we have a wealth ofstories wry, funny, and sad all illustrative of the human condition.' In Tell MeI'm Okay, author and retired sexual health doctor David Bradford relates aremarkable set of stories ... about growing up as a gay child in a stronglyChristian family, struggling with his sexuality, serving as an army doctor inVietnam during the Vietnam War, working as Director of the MelbourneCommunicable Diseases Centre at the time of the arrival of HIV/AIDS, and inprivate practice with hundreds of AIDS patients, many of whom did not survive. Here is a humane,wise, thoughtful voice, always conscious of the wonderful, the absurd, thefragile nature of life. David Bradford's story tells us much about who we are,how we've changed, and where some at least of our scars have come from.
