Episode synopsis
Suddenly, reputed Amsterdam surgeon Martinus Elsenbosch moves to a godforsaken country village where the GP recently died although he never visited his aunt there in 30 years. Although a college buddy smoothly arranged his appointment, the rowdy locals almost all lack respect or worse, including the lazy cow who simply claims the medical secretary position but rather dumps private chores on 'doc Tinus' then actually doing her job. Despite brilliantly solving the seemingly unrelated cases of local squire Roderick Hermans and lowlife playboy Dennis's effeminate breast growth, plumber Bert de Groot's shocking incompetence and ruffians driving him off the road make him announce he's leaving town.
About Dokter Tinus
A successful vascular surgeon is suddenly confronted with a blood phobia, making it impossible for him to exercise his job in the hospital. He moves from the capital to the countryside to work as the GP of a village where he only knows his aunt. His predecessor was well liked, so his new community is less than welcoming. The empathic capabilities of the doctor leaves much to be desired, making it even harder for him to win his place in the close-knit community.
