The doctor is back again and on the wards! Now in his third year as Junior Doctor, Max looks and sounds the part. But this time around, things are not at all as he expected...

The junior doctor . . . back on the wards.

After a year on the streets treating outreach patients, Max Pemberton is back in the relative comfort of hospital. This time running between elderly care and the dementia clinic to A&E and outpatients. No longer inexperienced (Max and his doctor friends can now tell when someone is actually dead), they are on the front line of patient care for better or worse.

In the midst of an NHS still under threat (some things never change) there are committed and caring doctors, big issues, hope, frustration, huge societal changes affecting the entire health system as well as the general drama of everyday life in a big hospital, from biscuit wars to resus. It's not like television, this is real - there are no easy answers - but The Doctor Will See You Now will give you hope that there are enough good doctors asking the questions.

Praise for The Doctor Will See You Now

entertaining, but also enlightening . . . recommended to anyone who'd like to know what really goes on inside a hospital. - Farm Lane Books
