While I appreciate what this book did in raising awareness of the conditions junior doctors work under, and I did find the last chapter moving and Kay's message to the government to be impassioned and worthy, the rest of the book didn't work for me. The anecdotes sounded like they were made up to deliver punchlines, the diary entries more like ideas for a standup routine (which makes sense given that Kay is also a comedian and scriptwriter) than a realistic record of life as a doctor. The fact that many of the anecdotes didn't ring true tainted my impression of the whole book and, in my opinion, devalued the overall message.
