Review ------ From the very heart of the NHS comes this brilliant in into the continuing crisis in the service. Rachel Clarke writes as the accomplished journalist she once was and as the leading junior doctor she now is - writing with humanity and compassion that at times reduced me to tears. Author: Jon Snow Dr Clarke has written a blockbuster, a page-turner, a tear-jerker. This is a "from-the-heart" front-line account of the human cost of the wanton erosion of a magnificent ideal - care free at the point of need, funded through public taxation, available to all - made real in the UK for near 70 years. It is a love-song for the wonderful National Service that has embodied - to an extent equalled nowhere in the world - the principle that care is not a commodity but a great duty of state. Author: Prof. Neena Modi, President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child A powerful account of life on the NHS frontline. If only Theresa May and Jeremy Hunt could see the passion behind the people in the NHS, they might stop treating them as the enemy, and understand that without them we don't have an NHS worth the name. Author: Alastair Campbell I absolutely loved it this book. Such an elegant, moving and honest account of life on the frontline. This is mandatory reading for anyone who cares about the NHS. I am very often asked what it's like to be a junior doctor, and I can now direct people to this book. It's so refreshing to see someone tell it exactly as it is. Author: Joanna Cannon, author of The Trouble With Goats and Sheep Eloquent and moving... Anybody who wants to understand what is happening to the NHS should read this book. Author: Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm Source: The Times Magazine Book Description ---------------- This extraordinary memoir offers a glimpse into a life spent between the operating room and the bedside, the mortuary and the doctors' mess, telling powerful truths about today's NHS frontline.
