Doctor’s book The Happy Bowel a hit at writers’ festival
Bowel health and happiness has proved to be one of the biggest drawcards at a recent state writers’ festival, where WA Chief Medical Officer and author Dr Michael Levitt proved to a hit with readers.
A queue formed outside the venue in Perth where Dr Levitt, a colorectal surgeon, offered insights to his latest book, The Happy Bowel, during Perth Writer’s Week.
“I think there were about 150-200 people, and it was packed — eventually they just had to close the doors,” Dr Levitt tells news site WAtoday.
“I was a little surprised by the crowd though. It’s not my first book — I’ve written three books about bowels now.”
