4.5
The British medical system sounds like it is tettering on the edge of disaster, and I am concerned how it is in my country, with teh cutbacks and staff shortages from the stress of the covid era.
The British humour can be snarky, and at times Adam seems to be a bit of a snob, but also it shows how his empathy is drained as the years go by.

Adam Kay provides a funny, reflective and truthful account about the UK's Healthcare system and the applaudable yet undervalued work of those employed by the NHS.

Kay writes how difficult it is working in a system that doesn't quite support doctors, midwives, nurses and other hospital staff, and the impacts on their personal lives that also suffer. Kay has since left the healthcare industry but wrote this novel in solidarity, as an insight into hospital life for the general population after the government started to attack the NHS and saying that doctors are only in it for the money in 2016.
A very insightful read, if you thought working in a hospital was already difficult, it's actually 10x worse than what you had thought. As it is, now in 2023, and with Covid still running rampant, it's clear that a lot of healthcare systems are crumbling due to lack of staffing, lack of care for staff, and governments out to make as many monetary cutbacks as they possibly can. I think we're on a slippery slope with the healthcare system now, and this book is proof that things need to change. Very eye opening. Well worth the read.
