Trust me, I'm a junior doctor

by Max Pemberton

Max Pemberton charts his roller coaster journey from idealism to bewilderment as one of the many hapless medical novices, as he realises that his heady ideals of 'saving people' come a distant second to the more pressing concerns of signing forms, placating tyrannical consultants and working out if people are actually dead - it's not as easy as you think. Max and his fellow newbies grapple with these and many other complicated questions of life, love, washing and mental health in this witty, bittersweet and revealing peek into the hidden world of life and death, and everything in between.
