4.5

This book induces laughter (at the stupidity of people); anger (at the stupidity of our Tory-led governments of the last 10 years) and also sadness at the toll that working for the NHS takes on the lives of those staff most dedicated to its ideals.

I wholeheartedly support The Reading Agency and the Quick Reads initiative. This book is a fantastic "taster" of Adam Kay's bestselling memoir, one that has made me want to read the full text. Whilst there are many humorous anecdotes, Kay also frankly discusses the strain and stresses that doctors experience, and the more tragic aspects of their work.
