Godefroid M. Duma’s “Doctors, Here Is My Leg” Joins The Maple Staple’s 2026 London Book Fair Showcase

“Doctors, Here Is My Leg” by author Godefroid M. Duma will be among the featured titles presented at The Maple Staple’s exhibit during the 2026 London Book Fair, where the Toronto-based bookstore is showcasing a curated selection of independent and internationally focused works.

Visitors attending the fair will be able to view the book at Stand 6A100 from March 10 to 12, where titles spanning a wide range of perspectives and lived experiences are being highlighted throughout the three-day event.

The book centers on a personal testimony rooted in a workplace injury that occurred twenty-five years ago, when the author experienced hospital treatment following a severe leg injury in Kinshasa. Through reflection and observation, Duma examines the relationship between patients and medical institutions, inviting discussion about healthcare accountability, ethical responsibility, and the broader social conditions surrounding medical care. Combining narrative elements with social commentary, the work explores how individual experiences in hospital environments can lead to wider conversations about community health, financial awareness, and civic engagement.

Duma has lived in the United States since 2010 and works as a nurse in a psychiatric hospital. Alongside his healthcare career, he leads Freezhem Worldwide LLC, an initiative promoting financial education, and has launched campaigns aimed at encouraging greater economic awareness within communities. His long-term vision also includes projects focused on healthcare infrastructure and support systems for accident victims in Africa, reflecting themes that connect closely with the book’s reflections on care and responsibility.
