Trust me. I am doctor

If you are going to get sick, then it is best not to do this on the first Wednesday of August. Just on this day, newly made graduates of medical universities go to the first jobs and are faced with the task of putting into practice what they have devoted to the last 6 years of training. The first part of the Max Pemberton trilogy touchingly and humor describes the impressions of the interns from the first year of work in the National Health Service of Great Britain. The youthful maximalism of the doctor is replaced by frank bewilderment from the realization of how little in his business the actual “salvation of lives” and how much time it takes to fill out forms and pondering important problems that have not been discussed anywhere before. For example, how to answer a relative to the question of whether his loved one survived? At the same time, Max and his young colleagues together are looking for answers to complex questions about life, love, mental health and how to find time for washing. In this book, Max Pemberton provides the reader with the opportunity to open the door to the world where an ordinary person is prohibited by an ordinary person without a medical education.

Max Pemberton is a doctor leading a weekly column in The Daily Telegraph and Readerʼs Digest
