4.0
obviously amazing i couldn't put it down at all. unfortunately adam kay does kind of come off as quite a dick in some scenarios like when he feels he has to trick people into getting the treatment they need, etc. he also makes a few really unnecessarily rude comments about a patients' weight. i'm really glad the uk has the nhs and i know nhs doctors go through a rough time but it's beyond "dark humour" to just straight up make fun of somebody's appearance. besides that the book is great.
