3 hours 6 minutes - This book was not what I was expecting, as it was so much better, so much more engaging, and so much more insightful than anything I had expected. The writing style is funny but provides so much insight into how the NHS runs and the way doctors experience daily life. It was so heart-breaking in places, yet hilarious in others. I don't usually enjoy reading non-fiction, as I often find it boring and hard-to-read, but none of these problems applied to this book at all. I loved it.
