A sequel of sorts to [b:The Bad Doctor|22578304|The Bad Doctor|Ian Williams|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1403603259l/22578304._SX50_.jpg|42046372] and a good step forward for Williams's art style --- there's a simplification in the line art that clarifies characterization and works wells with the muted coloring. (Kinda reminds me of [a:Andi Watson|1022975|Andi Watson|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/m_50x66-82093808bca726cb3249a493fbd3bd0f.png].) And I liked that Williams was working with a longer plotline (the life of a coworker of the first book's protagonist, her work in the practice and a "clap" clinic, her unexpected reconnection with family). But the plotting still frustrated me at times, with coincidences too frequent and resolutions too pat.

Not as good as the bad doctor. Still great. Read in a single sitting.

I was liking this slice of life story about a general practitioner, especially in her dealing with difficult patients. Then, at the climax, she takes a mushroom trip that solves all her problems. It didn't ruin the book, but it certainly felt naive.

This book is great at describing life in a small town Welsh GP practice and the burnout it causes. I really needed the ending because otherwise the book felt very dark, hopeless and depressing. If you love fiction involving medicine then this is the book for you.
