dark emotional funny informative fast-paced

4.25

If you're someone who gets offended easily, don't risk it by reading this book. It doesn't poke fun at patients themselves too much (though sometimes it would be totally deserved), but it can trigger some. As a person who works in veterinary medicine, I found some obvious similarities to our line of work. In solidarity it brings me so much relief, and obviously it was hilarious!

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

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.

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