"A scrapbook of memories" is how long time South Auckland GP Greg Judkins describes his latest book describing his career as a family doctor here and at a hospital in Nepal. 

What Was I Thinking is full of anecdotes from working and family life and is interwoven with his own poetry.

Now retired, the author reflects on a life of adventure and challenge, along with the mistakes that he describes as an inescapable part of both personal and professional life.
