This book was both very entertaining and informative about what working in the healthcare system is like. I really liked Kay's conversations about how hard it can be to keep going, how the system falls short, and how much you truly have to sacrifice to be a doctor. That, combined with the diary-entry format and at times almost unbelievable patient experiences, made this book unputdownable. I'll admit a lot of jokes went over my head because they relied on British pop culture references that I didn't have a clue about or just didn't quite land with me, but I definitely laughed at times. Other portions were sad and hard to read, so I felt a whole range of emotions. Overall, I think this book is great if you're looking for a fast-paced and entertaining nonfiction that also offers important commentary on the healthcare system and what it is like to be a doctor.
