This book is filled with sad truths about the NHS and the poor doctors that work there.

Thank you for all your honest stories from your time as a Junior Doctor in the NHS. What a great but sad book.

I collection of anecdotes from a British doctor working for the NHS. His stories are humorous, sad, frustrating and illuminating.

It’ll make you laugh, it’ll make you cry, it very well may make you feel nauseous.

It lives up to the hype. It’s an important book.
