A doctor's diary reveals the raw, emotional realities of working in the NHS. Tender yet unsentimental, it's a window into the lives of those who dedicate themselves to healing others, at great personal cost. Facing unthinkable challenges and impossibly long hours, these caregivers find solace in dark humor and shared camaraderie. Through their eyes, we witness the profound impact they have on patients' lives - and how those patients, in turn, shape the doctors themselves.
