challenging emotional funny informative fast-paced

4.0

Tackles the most difficult subjects in a light hearted way that doesn’t make you feel all doom and gloom. Highlights real, serious issues without being unbearably heavy. Laughed out loud numerous times.

A great view into the NHS from a man who has experienced it first hand. Don’t recommend if pregnant.
