An eye-opener into what happens behind thedoctor's desk, Scrupulosity takes a stethoscopeto Dr Iwan James, a GP in a small rural markettown, who is in need of care himself.Incontinent old ladies, men with eagle tattoos,traumatised widowers - his dismay at the sufferingsof his patients is further confounded by unrequitedlonging for his colleague, Dr Lois Pritchard, andtheir backstabbing partner, Dr Robert Smith, whowill use any means to make Iwan look bad in herpresence.Haunted since childhood by 'scrupulosity', a moralor religious form of obsessive compulsive disorder,Iwan's only relief from the pains of practice andpatients are his cycling trips with his friend andmentor, Arthur.Wry, comic, graphic, often quotidian and sometimestragic, his patients' stories are the spokes that make Iwan's wheels go round.
