This book is a detailed insight into the life of a doctor. Informative and funny, yet shows the inhumane pressure doctors are put under.

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

Jan 2023: This must be my third or fourth reread of this incredibly special book. Kay is a master storyteller, and it's his finely balanced combination of light and dark that make this book so impactful. A must-read for anyone who has ever had even the briefest experience of the NHS.

Jan 2024: I don't think I'll ever be able to properly express how highly I recommend this book.

5 stars for a memoir. It was definitely entertaining, funny and horribly sad at times.

3.0

• Mais um emprestado pela bestie em Novembro e só o terminei em Dezembro. Quis lê-lo porque os exemplos que ela me contava pareciam hilariantes.

• Este livro é um memoir que decorre ao longo de 7 anos (se não me engano) enquanto Adam sobe na carreira de médico e também os motivos que o levaram a abandonar.

• Atualmente Adam é comediante e escreve guiões para a televisão e cinema. Com essa informação conseguem imaginar a sátira ao sistema de saúde britânico que aqui vai? Até quem não pertence à medicina e é um simples utente consegue perceber as semelhanças entre o sistema de saúde deles e o nosso. Por entre as piadas deu para ter empatia pelo que os médicos sofrem no seu trabalho.

• Cada capítulo aborda uma breve explicação de cada patamar na carreira, as responsabilidades e deveres, assim como os casos insólitos no trabalho e na sua vida pessoal.
Rondam à volta de 20 páginas cada, o que devia ser fácil de ler, mas conseguia ser um pouco monótono, sempre o mesmo registo, por isso demorei um pouco a terminá-lo.

• Ri-me sim com as situações, mas também me assustei um pouco com os casos de ginecologia que por ali passavam (ter bebés é assustador).

• Aconselho a quem não tem muito interesse em livros de não-ficção porque é bom para limpar o palato entre géneros literários. Pode também ser uma leitura em que façam intervalos entre os anos, quase como ler contos.
