The Doctor Will See You Now: The highs and lows of my life as an NHS GP

Product Information

Often as engineers, we think about different solutions, but sometimes they may not be adopted because people are not fully accepting of them,” Traverso says. “So, in this study we were trying to tease that out and understand if the population is receptive to a solution like this one.” Standard professional biography. It does annoy me a little when people who write these books complain how busy they are!! Critically speaking though, there was a lot that irked me. The whole text needed a good proof-read for a start. Without meaning to, his character comes off a bit opinionated and smug. He tries to overcompensate for this by professing his humility at every opportunity.

The final part of the book looks into the current COVID crisis. It was an interesting viewpoint that many people wouldn't think about or see. It was interesting and well written. The researchers first conducted a nationwide survey of about 1,000 people, working with a market research company called YouGov. They asked questions regarding the acceptability of robots in health care, including whether people would be comfortable with robots performing not only triage but also other tasks such as performing nasal swabs, inserting a catheter, or turning a patient over in bed. On average, the respondents stated that they were open to these types of interactions. One of my favourite genres of book at the moment. I have nothing but admiration for most NHS workers. I have to say his surgery seems to have far more of a human touch than most I have experienced! It was fascinating learning about his work and thoughts, and the short section about Covid-19 at the end is the first I’ve really read about it from a medic’s point of view. In this book I can see the doctor has gained confidence and is training in psychiatry. It is still an enjoyable and funny read however it was very touching indeed. Less humor and more reality for sure. You get to read about old people wasting away with dementia or living in nursing homes and how, in one's old age, having someone by enough caring enough to take care of you is a blessing. I have read all three of his books, one after another, so I cannot promise there will not be spoilers from his previous novels. As much as "spoilers" can really be a thing with non fiction books anyway.Yes it is difficult to get appointments but like Dr Khan I think most GPS want the best for their patients and go above and beyond. Author, Dr Amir Khan first came to the attention of the British public, in a TV series entitled ‘GP’s Behind Closed Doors’, which followed a typical day in the lives of hard working GP’s in a busy NHS inner city practice. Dr Khan was popular with both patients and staff due to his kind, caring, charismatic and humorous personality. In his memoir, he lets us see how a busy inner city practice provides both opportunities, and huge challenges at the same time, whilst regaling us with some of the patients and medical cases that have arrived in his consulting room. Stuffy: Yeah, 'cause usually Dolly flops on over all "hi everyone" and does a little floppy dance, and Carl chug-a-chugs around and around until Chilly gets dizzy. And Morten gives a lion-sized roar, which is not as loud as a dragon-sized roar, but still, it's roar-worthy. In a larger online survey conducted nationwide, the researchers also found that a majority of respondents were open to having robots not only assist with patient triage but also perform minor procedures such as taking a nose swab.

CD, music video The Doctor Will See You Now is a Moshi Monsters song, sung by Dr. Strangeglove and the Glump Generation. Please don’t let the above paragraph detract you into thinking the book has a preaching tone. It doesn’t. There are laughs, sadness and frustration aplenty. We also see the return of Flora, Ruby and Lewis, who each have stronger storylines in this book. There is also the return of the Three Marys (secretaries) and Trudy, supplier of cakes and knowledge, along with some new characters. Max and his friends also get time off to go on holiday and attend a wedding, even if everything doesn’t turn out as planned… While the author has a very readable style, I didn’t like this as much as his first book. It comes across more as a tale about him and his flat mates, than hospital life. The Doctor Will See You Now is a powerful story of hope, love and compassion, but it's also a rare insider account of what really goes on behind those surgery doors.
