I know this book only deals with cases he remembers… but makes me happy for our (US) healthcare. The references to God- should have left out - I get that it’s your book and your story… but is off putting. As a medical professional I enjoyed the story. Glad you decided to write while medicine was in your family- it really sounded like it was not in your heart. But I bought both books!

Wow

If you work in healthcare this book is for you. Read his first one too. He tells the humorous and disgusting side of medicine.

Hilarious

Truly a brief and ribald rant by Adam Kay. Audible experience enticed laughter in many en route to an architectural paradise by the sea. Kayes’ style imparts a unique view and classification of the morose nature of holidays when experienced through the eyes of medical professionals. Learned what “G-y” dumping is and how “Turkeybone” in a trachea is a quotidian occurrence on Satan’s merry go round (aka “The ER”).

“Would you believe there’s a medical term specifically and exclusively for a mass of undigested sharon fruit in an intestine? No wonder medical school takes so long, learning all this s...”
---Adam Kay

There is a rationale why many healthcare workers choose to be purposely absent from the ER during the holidays. And their are those who live for the “rush” of the incoming patients whose conditions are further stressed by environmental factors, food and unresolved familial conflicts creating the ideal recipe for another “hell” round in the ER. Adam Kay heals naturally with humor and helps us to understand the meritorious and somber realities of holidays.

ER Dumping and Turkeybone in a Trachea?

A funny, sad, joyful, frustrating (i.e. HUMAN) romp through the Christmases most of us will never have to endure or hope to enjoy. Yet another glimpse of human experiences that are at once foreign and universal. Throughly enjoyable.

These stories made me laugh and though I live in a different country, the scenarios are the same. I’m so glad Adam wrote his experiences down.

Relatable and so funny

Charming read about the poor souls in NHS working over the Christmas holidays. Spicy language, hilarious medical situations and so British. A true find. Problem was it was too short!

Delightful

Just as good as his first book. I really wish it was longer. Hoping he writes some more!!

Love it!!

As a nurse who has worked almost every Christmas Day and New Years Eve for the past 10 or so years, listening to this has been therapeutic. I've laughed, I've cried, and (most importantly) I empathized with Adam and his struggle to survive the holidays working in a hospital. Thank you for finally telling our stories and please keep up all the good work!

Finally! Someone is telling our stories!
