Trust me, I'm Exhausted

Send us Fan MailA very warm welcome today to retired paediatrician, Dr Harry Stone, who is here today to talk about his memoir, Trust Me, I'm Exhausted, How Not to Train a Doctor.This is a really engaging medical memoir, one framed by an admission as a patient to the hospital that retired Dr Stone worked in. As he lies in a hospital bed, before he lies in a hospital bed, as he lies on a trolley, as he experiences some of the most challenging care that the NHS is able to offer in corridors, in overpopulated wards, understaffed situations, he reflects on his own journey as a doctor, his training as a medical student, his junior doctor years.Harry reflects on the changes that he saw through a long career in the NHS and thinks about some of his experiences as a patient and as a doctor and how being a doctor who is also a patient can really frame our thinking, change it and challenge it It's a really accessible book which I enjoyed reading and it's been great to talk to Dr Stone today.
