Trust Me, I’m a Junior Doctor by Max Pemberton (Image from Max Pemberton’s website– go visit!) This page works best with JavaScript. Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2011, different, unexpected stories, but also very instructive. I imagined a lot of Daily Telegraph readers to be middle class and middle aged, but I actually get a lot of letters from younger people, teenagers, and people in their early 20s. Probably not a good read for a medical student or NHS patient come to that ! I have been quite surprised. Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users. Like when you sleep in for a Monday morning ward round after working solidly through the weekend. I felt that this cohort of people was voiceless and had no one to defend them. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. by Hodder & Stoughton Ltd. I think it is the cover. I would definitely recommend to anyone considering the medical profession as a career option. It takes a long time. Should be compulsory reading for all leading politicians, especially health ministers. Max Pemberton articulates the difficulties that the NHS is facing, as well as emphasising what a brilliant institution we have in the form of a universal health service, whilst weaving it into the everyday stories of life as a hospital doctor. It made me laugh, smile and occassionally upset me a bit. A lot of these medical books give the author's opinions on how the NHS could be run better and if only they could be listened to that would be good. To see what your friends thought of this book, Doctors and nurses are truly amazing. I read This is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay recently and I picked this up as soon as I saw it since they are both similar and I loved the former one. I’ve read quite a few and this is one of the better ones. A real junior doctor, writing about his experiences in the first year after medical school? It was easy to pick up & put down due to the format of small daily updates. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. The reader lives through the highs and lows along with the author through his first difficult year in medicine. Meanwhile, Pemberton has produced an interesting, fairly light insight into the life of a well-meaning, competent and decent young man thrown into an overworked, underfunded, often incompetently administered NHS beset by political idiocy and despair, and assailed by the venality of PFI schemes, while trying to juggle the demands of his new trade with his need to get a grip on what's required of him. A very funny book which highlights the problems in the NHS due to underfunding and over-reliance on bureaucracy and middle-management. Be the first to ask a question about Trust Me, I'm a (Junior) Doctor. Then I saw an advert in the Guardian advertising for a medical journalist. People have told me that they read it and it really inspired them to do medicine. Absolutely brilliant, that may sound bizarre to say that about a book based in a hospital but as someone who is in hospital alot due to chronic pain it's nice to read about the people behind the doctors uniform. It takes a little time to warm up to the book but it is quite captivating once you do. The NHS should not be a for-profit organisation and this book gently and wittily gives the reasons why.
