Fantastic
only just got into reading books over the last 12 months but this stands bead and shoulders above every other book as it’s just fantastic. It’s not a big chunky novel that will take you days on end to get through and it has the perfect blend of comedy and also sadness..Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A must read book
Saw Adam Kay being interviewed about the book and it piqued my interest. Wow - what a great read! Brilliantly written with both humour and excellent story-telling. Takes you from belly laughs, to tears, to incredulity at what our poor young doctors have to go through in the NHS. This book should be read by everyone. Loved it!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

About time someone told it as it is !!
Totally amazing book from the moment I opens and read I didn’t put it down for hours ! I work front line nhs and this is for me an amazing encounter too and about time some one told the honest truth about what we deal with . Everyone should read this book. Funny with sadness mixed in but on an even balance . I recommend !!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A very apt title, some of the content does hurt.
The book gives a very real insight to the pressures and stresses of being a doctor. At times it was really funny and at other times it was heart-breaking. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it all day long …..wonderful.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Okay
The condition was good especially for the price. I would definitely recommend reading and buying this book. Especially for sixth form students that are applying to medicine because it is a more affordable and a greener option!
