Your Life in My Hands: A Junior Doctor's Story by Rachel Clarke

5.0

A brilliantly written(the author was a journalist before a Dr) and frightening but starkly true picture of the NHS. This is echoed by 2018 TV programmes like 'Ambulance' and 'Hospital' as well as friends working in high pressurised NHS environments where firefighting is all they are managing to do. Whilst it is true that the NHS was not created to deal with the wide range of treatments that are now available, and there are areas of waste, for example in the administration of prescription medicines, society and governments surely need to evolve to alleviate the problems. Something needs to be done.
