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

Spoiler
the writer works on a labour ward where he is stressed and overworked, and on the other side of that: black women are 4 times more likely to die during labour than white woman. This really highlights the awful dynamic between stressed workers and inadequate healthcare - a clear change needs to be made for employee and patient benefit.Graphic: Child death, Death, Mental illness, Injury/Injury detail, Suicidal thoughts, Pregnancy, Self harm, Infertility, Medical content, and Medical trauma
