Patrick Taylor, best-selling author of the Irish Country Doctor series, had this to say when asked what he wanted on his tombstone.

Patrick Taylor practiced medicine in an Northern Irish village with many similarities to Ballybucklebo, the fictional setting of his novel An Irish Country.

Taylor is a polymath who has written six textbooks and translated others from French.

He initially practised in a rural Ulster village akin to Ballybucklebo before taking specialist training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. After living in Belfast through the first two years of the recent Irish Troubles () he and his family emigrated to Canada where he pursued a career in medical research and teaching in the field of human infertility.

His contributions have been honoured with three lifetime achievement awards including the Lifetime Award of Excellence of the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society.

A talent for the written word, first recognized when he was 16 by his winning the "Campbellian Prize for Literature", led to an outpouring of contributions to the medical literature.

His scientific works include papers and six textbooks, one translated from the original French.
