emotional informative sad medium-paced

5.0

I think I read this at just the right time. This is a great memoir which covers the stigma of mental health, being an 'international student' and the many systemic issues within the Australian healthcare system.

challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

I devoured this memoir by Dr Kadota. It is accessible, generous, and revealing of the Australian hospital system's treatment of junior doctors.
