I’m a Binger now and I highly recommend this British TV show on NETFLIX!
I was slammed last week with work. Many of my clients were wanting to get on with their “next housing needs” after the big BREXIT vote and with our weird upcoming election. Wild!!! Also, last week we hit our Hot Texas Summer 100F degree weather, just in time for the 4th of July Celebration. Going in and out of the AC and the Heat, I got sick. A nasty summer cold that put me down for three days. What do you do when you can’t go out and play on the 4th? Binge watch on the tele. My friend DeLois recommended “Doc Martin” and after the 4th episode, I was hooked.
This very brilliant, straight forward, and very rude English Doctor moves back to his childhood vacation seaside village where he heals the kooky natives in the local village. After watching four seasons in three days, I learned so much about Western medicine and its diagnosis. Of course, I went to Whole Foods and grabbed some ‘Clear Lungs” by Ridgecrest Herbals, and this did the trick. A homeopathic/Chinese herbal formula. More my style. Hahaha
This Show “Doc Martin” has been renewed for its eighth season and has been picked up in the States for an American Version coming soon. Enjoy!!!
Dr. Martin Ellingham, a London-based surgeon, relocates to the picturesque seaside village of Portwenn, establishing himself as the area’s general practitioner. He grew up in the area having been raised by his now widowed Aunt Joan Norton. His reasons for leaving London and the high-paid life of a consultant are not clear initially but related to a phobia he has recently developed. He soon meets several of the locals and eccentricity abounds. Martin’s situation is made more difficult by what can only be referred as an almost complete lack of an acceptable bedside manner. He is gruff, abrupt and intolerant, not only in issues related to medicine, but to life in general. He and the headmistress of the local school, Louisa Glasson, are clearly attracted to each other and despite their awkwardness, slowly develop a relationship.
