This time, instead of dealing with patients' broken bodies, she's tackling their mental health issues, with a roving commission to cover the medical, surgical and obstetric wards.

​L'amour n'est pas une science exacte. La comédie romantique de l'année ! Don Tillman a un gros problème. Ce n'est pas son incapacité à vivre en société. Ni ses idées arrêtées sur à peu près tout (à commencer par le homard au dîner, le mardi). Non, le vrai souci de Don, brillant professeur de génétique, c'est le " Problème Épouse ". Sur 100 individus de sexe féminin, 100 ne répondent absolument pas à la liste de critères scrupuleusement établie par lui – et Rosie, étudiante le jour, serveuse la nuit, encore moins que les autres... Et c'est bien là que le théorème se complique.

Perciò, il motivo per cui sono ancora scapolo mi è oscuro. Tuttavia ho fatto una scoperta incredibile: statisticamente, gli uomini sposati sono in media più felici...e vivono più a lungo!

Don Tillman är 39 år gammal och ska gifta sig. Han vet bara inte med vem än. Han ser bra ut men har aldrig riktigt passat in i några sociala sammanhang och har svårt att få kontakt med kvinnor. Men som den strukturerade forskare Don är utformar han Projekt Fru - ett mycket grundligt frågeformulär - som ska hjälpa honom att hitta den perfekta partnern. Hon får absolut inte röka, dricka, ogilla kött, komma försent eller rubba hans inrutade liv.
