This was often a difficult one to read. The realities faced by a doctor are difficult and as someone who’s squeamish it could be a lot. There were also times Kay was just plain offensive in the name of humour, but thankfully not consistently. If you want an idea of what medicine is like for people, what your friends working in social services can be like emotionally, this book can inspire some understanding hopefully. The pressures and expectations are extremely difficult to manage and are for those who are the most passionate (generally, some people just shouldn’t be in the job because they’re in it for the wrong reasons).
