The Doctor – How it Works by Dr Nigel McHale by Dr Kathleen Thompson

Written loosely in the style of the Ladybird for Adults ‘How it Works’ series, this is the first book by a consultant doctor who specialises in Emergency Medicine. Perhaps more to follow?

Using a children’s book format, Dr McHale provides an insight into the different grades of hospital doctor and GPs – a very British hierarchy.  He connects his characters using a humorous story which also highlights political issues affecting the current working of the NHS. His caricatures of consultant figures will strike a cord with anyone who has worked in the NHS.

Don’t be fooled by the large type and the pictures of dolls and toy cars – this book is strictly adult humour. A light-hearted read.
