Over twelve weeks, Melo has conversations with Dr. Elpis, learning about the meaning of being a doctor and human, and becoming more aware of the world around her. The novel blends storytelling, dream recalls, poems, and references to myths and history to question and challenge the contradictions and complacencies at the heart of modern medical care.

In the pre-Covid UK capital of Melo, a young blogger and anthropologist, finds herself sought out by the enigmatic Dr. Elpis, a woman who conceals her face behind a veil. Despite the doctor's secrecy, Melo is drawn to her open and honest desire to share her unique worldview as one of the last independent doctors in London. Over a span of twelve weeks, Melo engages in conversations with Dr. Elpis, delving into the profound essence of being a doctor, a human being, and ultimately, becoming more aware of the world around her.
Hippocrates of London weaves together real-life medical anecdotes with a clever blend of storytelling, dream recalls, poems, and references to myths and history. It poses questions and challenges the contradictions and complacencies at the heart of modern medical care. By establishing the Hippocratic oath as the guiding line of reasoning throughout a young Londoner's voyage of discovery, Hippocrates of London establishes medical ethics as a timeless and universal compass for our humanity. With its wit, provocation, and mystical quest for universality, this collection of medical stories stands as one of the most original and captivating works in recent years.
