Summary

A hysterical and sometimes tragic portrayal of a doctor’s interactions with a captivating array of patients contrasted against the frustrations and humdrum of being a junior doctor in the National Health Service.

From being the savior of a man’s anus to being mistaken for the milkman, Tom describes the complexity and absurdity of today’s medical practice with humor and aplomb. Tom is a junior doctor working in the National Health Service. Tom Parsons is a pseudonym.

This second edition features new content.

1st class but worrying

Liked the book from end to end but the last bit brought it home with a bang, one overpowering, over promoted person trying to tick boxes kills but walks away. Doctors can and do live a good life when at the top of the tree, but it's not those we see day to day, it's folk like this that will save your life.

Read too fast

The content of this book was great, but it is read so fast that I struggled to keep up.
