kentaurides 's review for:
As a junior doctor, I was recommended this book by family members to read (I think they saw the title and thought I might like it, rather than having actually read it).
I spent almost the entire book thinking "this book is not for me". I imagine it impacts a non-medical person harder than me - all I can read is my every day working life (although, working in Australia, I have better work life balance). Any doctor has a list of similar stories that we swap at parties* and the gravity of these stories tends to just bounce off the shield.
Then I got to the part at the end, the reason the author left medicine and that part punctured the shield as it's what scares me at the moment.
It's a well written book, and if you have a doctor in your life, I recommend reading it.
*I'm joking, usually we just swap them at work.
