I would like to thank the author, publishers and Netgalley for allowing me to pick this to read and review all my reviews are honest.
Synopsis
Playing Doctor: Part Two: Residency is a medical memoir full of laugh-out-loud tales, born from chaotic, disjointed, and frightening nights on hospital wards during John Lawrence’s medical training and time as a junior doctor. This candid autobiography will demystify medical education and inspire you. Equal parts heartfelt, self-deprecating humor, and irreverent storytelling, John takes us along for the ride as he tracks his transformation from uncertain, head injured, liberal-arts student to intern, resident and then medical doctor.
My Review
This was a brilliant read. I just loved the authors humours style from the very start. It had me in stitches so many times. It was such a fascinating insight into what it is like for doctors learning and testing out there knowledge and new found skills. I haven't read the first book in his life but I didn't need to, to fully enjoy this brilliant book. You could easily read it as a standalone book. However the authors brilliant writing style you are going to want to read them all.
The author has obviously lived a brilliant life both in and out of the hospital and he gets this across with such ease through his words. The flow of the book was brilliant. This lead to me being engrossed in this book from the very start and I just had to read the whole book in one go. I just couldn't put this page turning autobiography down. I especially loved the story where one of his friends while out drinking fell and got a deep cut that the author was determined to sort out himself and everyone banned the author from going to the hospital with him. Also the time there was an accident while on holiday in Spain. They were just fantastic stories.
I really do recommend reading this very interesting and funny book to all those who really want to learn what it is really like to become a doctor. Also for all those fans of TV shows like ER. The third book will be out this month 25/8/22 and I am excited to read it. So keep your eyes peeled for that one.
Only the highest of praise goes out to the author and publishers for writing such a fascinating and highly entertaining insight into the lives of doctors in there residency year.
