Short but excellent set of stories from Adam Kay’s time as a junior doctor. This selection from his time doing Christmas shifts.
I read the first third of this book and listened to the audiobook for the remainder, narrated by Adam Kay himself. While it’s nice to hear the voice of the author, his comedy timing doesn’t do justice to the material, so I’d actually recommend reading the book.
Nice short read for the festive season!

At time horrifying, at times hilarious, this was a engaging and warm read. I enjoyed Kay’s selection of anecdotes from his many Christmases spent serving the NHS and his love for the service as well as his criticisms of its culture (the hierarchies, the expectation to “just get on with it”) will leave a lasting impact.

Now that I work/studying a career within the NHS, I can definitely relate and understand the frustration and feelings from this!
Great read and great laugh. Even tho the NHS is still a shambles but we’ll get there !!
