### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good Medicine !
  

*by P***J on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2024*

A truthful.,  really funny, often poignant and at times heart breaking view of the first year for a junior Doctor. As a nurse who has spent years getting used to the `new batch` twice a year (and dreading it ) I found it illuminating reading from the other perspective, identifying with so many of the circumstances described. I also appreciated Max's observations on nursing.it's an enjoyable easy read full of chuckles .

    Your life in their exhausted hands
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2017*

We will all pass through a hospital at some time in our lives and many will, like with any profession dedicate many years of work and study. This is a great read whichever side of the hospital bed you are on. It describes the student like lifestyle of these young professionals and the deep end learning that they are thrust into. The book is now a bit dated so it shouldn't be read entirely as a literal account of how things are today. Unusually for such a light read it does stir some powerful emotions in between the amusement. The book maintains interest through the people in the book other than the author, so it is hard to put down. The author writes humorously and engagingly but yet looks for meaning and purpose to what he is doing. To that end he gets on his soapbox a bit which he is entitled to do but at time he wrote this objected to nurse prescribing on the basis that they didn't have his training on how the drugs actually work. This surprises me that he held this view when the book details at length unfinished meals, drinks and conversations. Surely degree qualified nurses working in their specialist areas, with years of experience, shouldn't need to defer to a newly and broadly trained, tired and over_stretched junior doctor in this matter?Whilst I enjoyed this book, I am not yet convinced that his follow up books will be as good as can be the case with sequels and those difficult second albums. I am happy to receive comments.

    IS THE PATIENT THE REAL TARGET?
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 October 2015*

What truth told through humour, curiosity and the shock of being immersed in an alien system.Reading the book immediately after "Man's Search for Meaning" made the story much more profound: it became the lens through which I examined these stories. It became apparent that seeing the facts in such a light would never be possible again.  As time passes, and careers progress, the system produces a lethargy and apathy, as its incapability to change is demonstrated. At the Junior Doctor stage, when the the anomalies that occur scream out to be addressed, the powerlessness associated with having no voice comes across very strongly.For people who really want to understand what the problem is with the NHS, this book defines some key problems with clarity. Again, following "Man's Search for Meaning" it is psychologically understandable that senior members of the profession have become apathetic about their ability to change the system.For Politicians -  the message is clear: There are huge areas  that need to be addressed: doctors require to be empowered to correct a failing system.For Doctors, who have permitted the emergence of the all-powerful manager, this is a wake up call.It could not be made more obvious that Management and Doctors have different goals.How can this be efficient and effective?Although many of his anecdotes are a humorous account of his first hospital experience, his perception his astounding at times. Problems are carefully and compactly explained, and analysed. Legislation, and the problems it has created, questioned.He correctly identified many problems, yet we are now 7 years on from the original publication,Who has listened?Who has seen?Worrying.
