dark emotional funny informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.5

Going into this as someone from the UK, I am extremely grateful for the NHS and do think that doctors, nurses, midwives, consultants etc. should have many more benefits for their duty than what they unfortunately get. The book illustrates why this should be the case. 

I chuckled many times reading some of the entries and teared up on the last really showing how much of an emotional journey this read is.

Only reason this book isn't 5 stars for me is because I rate books that high when I cannot physically put the book down, with this I did and therefore it's a 4.5 for me. Such an important read that I would recommend to everyone (if not triggered).
