If you want to go into medicine read this book. If you think doctors just stand around making money with the pretence that they’re helping people, you’re so utterly wrong and you must read this. This gives you such an amazing insight into life as a doctor, particularly in the UK. Although he left for quite sad reasons, Kay really just made me more determined to be a doctor but now I have a better understanding of the darker parts of this profession.
Minor: Death
He talks about some kinda gross things especially in regards to childbirth but overall it’s pretty good. He uses big doctor words too but they’re always given explanations in the footnotes.
