| | Customer Reviews: Medicine as it really is (18 September 2008)If you love black humour you will love this. The three things I got from this book are: avoid doctors for a healthy life; only take the pills which will actually make a positive difference to your condition; most things get better on their own. It's laugh out loud funny but at the same time it will make you cry about all the things wrong with the NHS which could be put right very simply and for little cost. This is a brilliant book to give anyone who has had any dealings with the medical profession. Satire, plus a little extra (19 May 2008)Amusing, angry, provocative and with a clear message about where the NHS is headed. I could not agree less with the barely literate review suggesting this book would induce (ahem) 'bordem'. Nowhere to hide (09 April 2008)I have to disagree with Ms McKee, who curiously seems to have spiked Dr Hammond's other book, despite it being out of print for two years. One reason I suspect Hammond attracts the odd bit of vitriol is that he is brave (or foolhardy) enough to write under his own name. Dr Max Pemberton (Trust Me, I'm a Junior Doctor), Dr Michael Foxton (Bedside Stories: Confessions of a Junior Doctor) and Dr Nick Edwards (In Stitches: Highs and Lows of an A&E Doctor)are all non existent, according to the GMC register. Hammond is registered (325087) and undoubtedly offends those with a cosy view of doctors. He's a bit of a self-publicist who disguises his narcissism as self deprecation but he is undoubtedly funny, which for me is all that matters. A comedian trapped in a doctor's body. Bordem in the extreme (08 April 2008)This is a terrible read, boring and unfunny, maybe of interest if your on your death bed and you want to go a bit quicker... sad sad excuse for a funny book. Ben Elton, with a stethoscope, on speed (22 February 2008)hilarious book. For those of you interested in the humour embedded in working in the NHS, then read this book and in stitches;the highs and lows of life as an A&E doctor. Both are clasics which combine humour, with politics. | |
