• Este livro é um memoir que decorre ao longo de 7 anos (se não me engano) enquanto Adam sobe na carreira de médico e também os motivos que o levaram a abandonar.
• Atualmente Adam é comediante e escreve guiões para a televisão e cinema. Com essa informação conseguem imaginar a sátira ao sistema de saúde britânico que aqui vai? Até quem não pertence à medicina e é um simples utente consegue perceber as semelhanças entre o sistema de saúde deles e o nosso. Por entre as piadas deu para ter empatia pelo que os médicos sofrem no seu trabalho.
• Cada capítulo aborda uma breve explicação de cada patamar na carreira, as responsabilidades e deveres, assim como os casos insólitos no trabalho e na sua vida pessoal.
Rondam à volta de 20 páginas cada, o que devia ser fácil de ler, mas conseguia ser um pouco monótono, sempre o mesmo registo, por isso demorei um pouco a terminá-lo.
• Ri-me sim com as situações, mas também me assustei um pouco com os casos de ginecologia que por ali passavam (ter bebés é assustador).
• Aconselho a quem não tem muito interesse em livros de não-ficção porque é bom para limpar o palato entre géneros literários. Pode também ser uma leitura em que façam intervalos entre os anos, quase como ler contos.
