Darkly funny and extremely poignant. There were times I found myself shaking with laughter at the wryly observed anocdotes, but then sobered by the next tale of triumph or despair.
The British medical system sounds like it is tettering on the edge of disaster, and I am concerned how it is in my country, with teh cutbacks and staff shortages from the stress of the covid era.
The British humour can be snarky, and at times Adam seems to be a bit of a snob, but also it shows how his empathy is drained as the years go by.
