Incredibly funny but also poignant look into the life of a doctor. Making me respect even more the work of doctors, nurses etc and the NHS in general.

2.0

I'm just inherently not interested in this topic, I read this for bookclub and I've avoided it prior to this as it's just not a particularly interesting subject to me. 

It was amusing in parts but in others i just found myself skipping over, it didn't really add much to my overall understanding of NHS life, but i also have a few friends who work within the underfunded institution so I am fairly aware of the pitfalls and horrific working conditions. 

I also felt the tone was a bit off in parts, and he came off a bit smug in others. 

Just not for me.
