challenging emotional funny informative reflective sad fast-paced

3.5

An informative look into the realities of working in medicine. Although the topics can be quite sad, the author leans in to the funny side enough for you to not come away feeling completely devastated. Fascinating to read if you're interested in the behind the scenes of the NHS. 

3.5/5✨(Good, I enjoyed it)

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.

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.
