A Dim Prognosis? NZ healthcare at a crossroads

Ivor Popovich, the young ICU doctor who wrote A Dim Prognosis, gives us an insider's look at the best and worst of medicine and healthcare in NZ. He balances stories of bullying, abuse, corruption, overwork, and understaffing, with inspiring stories of seeing lives saved, deep connections with patients and whanau, and growing as a person during the approximately 14 years between starting med school and leaving as a fully-qualified specialist. Along the way, there are insights into health policy, politics, poverty, and ethnicity that make this book required reading for everyone from patients to politicians.
