I cried and I laughed reading this book. Some of the stories highlighted in this book were absolutely heart breaking while others were so funny. There were also plenty of heart warming moments too. The final part of the book looks into the current COVID crisis. It was an interesting viewpoint that many people wouldn't think about or see. It was interesting and well written. It was alarming to read of the food shortages and how care homes weren't treating elderly patients right. The ward round usually has to stop for a few minutes when patients are having their meals (protected meal time). My stomach always makes it a point to growl when the nurses are serving food to everyone on the ward. I never even thought to question that that food was so limited. I guess I assumed it was just there. The pantry very clearly specifies that no one BUT patients is allowed to eat that food. Maybe things have changed since 2011? While the author has a very readable style, I didn’t like this as much as his first book. It comes across more as a tale about him and his flat mates, than hospital life. I’ll be interested to see what Max does next. He is an excellent writer who always makes reading about medicine a fascinating subject. If only he could rewrite some of my textbooks!

I'm being a little mean here. This is an amusing and well-meaning collection of anecdotes from a fellow junior doc. Certainly a lot of the material is familiar and Dr Pemberton captures some of the frustrations experienced in hospital life. I chose the peaceful way to acquire bone forceps for him. Not sure what would have happened the other way. The bone forceps is located about 80 – 100 meters away, but still inside the same fort. The issue is the guards. It appears in Season 1 Mission 8: Spooktacular Spectacular along with Moshi Moshi Moshi, remixed by Simon Growl. As reported by The Daily Growl, more specifically Roary Scrawl, Simon Growl tried to have a contract with Dr. Strangeglove after he heard the song. As there was suspicion surrounding Simon Growl's involvement with C.L.O.N.C., this added up to the storyline.In a larger online survey conducted nationwide, the researchers also found that a majority of respondents were open to having robots not only assist with patient triage but also perform minor procedures such as taking a nose swab.

The Doctor Will See You Now is a powerful story of hope, love and compassion, but it's also a rare insider account of what really goes on behind those surgery doors. Charting his 15 years working as a GP, from rookie to becoming a partner in one of the UK's busiest surgeries, Dr Amir Khan's stories are as much about community and care as they are about blood tests and bodily fluids. Please don’t let the above paragraph detract you into thinking the book has a preaching tone. It doesn’t. There are laughs, sadness and frustration aplenty. We also see the return of Flora, Ruby and Lewis, who each have stronger storylines in this book. There is also the return of the Three Marys (secretaries) and Trudy, supplier of cakes and knowledge, along with some new characters. Max and his friends also get time off to go on holiday and attend a wedding, even if everything doesn’t turn out as planned… If you had chosen to get bone forceps, it’s located up to 100 meters away, but still inside the fort. It’s at the other end.Actuating grafts appears to turn on cell signals related to the growth of new blood vessels and nerves; a promising finding for restoring mobility in muscle lost through disease or trauma. As the physician is working in an infirmary inside Fort Tiryns, you need to first locate this place. The exact location of the fort is shown in the screenshot below.
