Loved it. Found it so funny and horrible at the same time as being super emotional and lighthearted. I don’t even know how it did it!

I LOVED this book so much. Not only have I been reading out funny parts to all my friends/my mum, I've also told them all they NEED to read it. Also, been doing the exact same "haha check this bit out" to my boyfriend, whose book it actually is, because he hasn't read it yet... it's that good.

Very eye opening to the injustice given to those expected to give us the best possible care they can. How is a doctor running on -6 hours sleep supposed to care and support their patients? Well its expected of course.... duh.
I am so glad I read this book and can't believe I ever doubted a doctors motivations. They work long past when I would have said f*ck it and gone home. Plus they do it with grace and understanding. I am revolted that a system devoted to upselling they're kindness would force the workers to do the unexpectable for profit. We complain as a society about the unfairness of sweat shops and "fast fashion" (don't get me wrong, they're disgusting to) but what about the hospital full of the sick and suffering? Oh, we'll just ask the doctors to handle it no prob.
They are undervalued and underpaid and over worked. Its time we started shouting about this injustice to. Hell knows they need it.
