Summary

The doctor is back again and on the wards! Now in his third year as junior doctor, Max looks and sounds the part. But this time around, things are not at all as he expected.... 

The junior doctor...back on the wards. After a year on the streets treating outreach patients, Max Pemberton is back in the relative comfort of hospital. This time running between elderly care and the dementia clinic to A&E and outpatients. No longer inexperienced (Max and his doctor friends can now tell when someone is actually dead), they are on the front line of patient care, for better or worse. 

In the midst of an NHS still under threat (some things never change) there are committed and caring doctors, big issues, hope, frustration, huge societal changes affecting the entire health system as well as the general drama of everyday life in a big hospital, from biscuit wars to resus. It's not like television, this is real - there are no easy answers - but The Doctor Will See You Now will give you hope that there are enough good doctors asking the questions.

Very Enjoyable

This was a really enjoyable story. It meandered along happily from start to finish. Very funny.

I'm addicted

I have loved every book. I wish there was more than 3. The only irritant is the narrators nasal Flora/Ruby voices.

Great story awful narration

Great account of max’s time! Funny and interesting! Good insight into some of the NHS management failings!

However the narration was just awful. The women sounded whiney and nasally. With the men sounding like they were meant to be stupid.
Ruined it quite a lot!

Terrible narration

Awful narration and I found the book quite boring compared to the others in the series.

Returned

Narrators voice grated on me all the way through the book, and his skills as a story teller are very poor. I am a fan of medical/human interest books but this one was was the most boring and badly narrated one I have ever listened to.

Wanted to love this but the accents … !!

This was easy to listen to while I worked but the dramatisation of the female characters was just diabolical. Every female character sounds like a whining sausage dog with sinusitis. Don’t know if this is a reflection of the readers opinion of females or acting ability .. it really got on my nerves even when I was enjoying the content itself.

Great story awful narration

Totally loved the stories but the nation was probably the worst I’ve heard.. it was like nobody had edited or listened to it before it was released. Every male patient voice sounded like a stupid, simpleton from a children’s book and the women’s voices were whining and ‘girlie’ . Phrasing in parts was dreadful and the tone of voice just didn’t match the individual situation of each little story. Please please re-record Dr Max’s stories (and all the patients) deserve much better!!!
