To anyone who uses, has used, or knows of the NHS service, I would recommend reading this book.
P.S. Grab a little thank you card or gift for your care team after your next hospital stay; goodness knows the government won't thank them

“It now seemed extreme and unreasonable in terms of what was expected of me, but at the time, I’d just accepted it as part of the job. The extra mile was the normal distance.”

leonormsousa's review against another edition
5.0
- the bigger message: no health care provider does what they do for money, they do it to help other people and for passion
- incredibly funny and witty
- very honest and raw, maybe a consequence of the descriptive and factual tone: the author does not try to paint himself or anyone else in a good or bad light
- great insights into the life of a medical care taker (doctor):
- the lack of working conditions
- their struggles with balancing work with personal life
- the pressure and the emotional weight they’re under
- the feeling of unreadiness and how they grow as doctors with time
- working in public vs private healthcare
- the side notes explaining the more medical/technical terms really help guide us common people
- the author narration in the audiobook is exceptional
WHAT I DIDN'T ENJOY
- if you’re not from the UK or are not familiarized with its health and education systems, there might be a couple of things that you don’t grasp as well. it's not something that affects your reading experience much and tbh a google search can probably solve it...
RECOMMENDED TO
- everyone!
- i feel like it’s an essential read to better understand and appreciate the work of health care providers
- i imagine it might be especially interesting for other healthcare providers since they will probably relate to some of the experiences
- the only exception to my recommendation is if you have triggers connected to medical content & pregnancies (recommend checking the full list of TWs)
