Doctor Profile
Dr Harper
‘Dr Dawn’ spends half her week in general practice in Gloucestershire (where she specializes in women’s health, family health, and preventative medicine) and the other half of her week spent researching, writing newspaper columns and broadcasting about various aspects of medicine. A regular on BBC Breakfast News, Dawn was also on hand to find out Who’ll Age Worst? for UKTV, whilst she continues to run a private clinic focusing on women’s health and weight management issues.
Dawn has recently contributed to the Government Funded Project ‘Making Sense of Health’, a one-stop health resource for teachers, parents, and students in primary and secondary education. Her new book, Dr Dawn’s Health Check (£14.99, Octopus Publishing) dispels myths and gives the facts on the most common ailments and diseases – from how to combat jet lag, through what works for PMS, to when can you have sex after a heart attack!
Dawn’s Top Quotes
‘No matter how smelly, how pussy, how sore – get it out, we can fix it.’
‘The minute that someone walks through the door with that embarrassed look on their face, I know that’s it’s below the waist and above the knees but do you know, to me it’s just another part of the body.’
‘Too many people sit at home worrying about what it could be but believe me we’ve seen it all. Come and talk to us about it, we can probably fix it.’
‘Whatever it is, you won’t be the first and you certainly won’t be the last.’
