An eye-opener into what happens behind the
doctor's desk, Scrupulosity takes a stethoscope
to Dr Iwan James, a GP in a small rural market
town, who is in need of care himself.
Incontinent old ladies, men with eagle tattoos,
traumatised widowers â€" his dismay at the sufferings
of his patients is further confounded by unrequited
longing for his colleague, Dr Lois Pritchard, and
their backstabbing partner, Dr Robert Smith, who
will use any means to make Iwan look bad in her
presence.
Haunted since childhood by ‘scrupulosity', a moral
or religious form of obsessive compulsive disorder,
Iwan's only relief from the pains of practice and
patients are his cycling trips with his friend and
mentor, Arthur.
Wry, comic, graphic, often quotidian and sometimes
tragic, his patients' stories are the spokes that make Iwan's wheels go round.
