About the Book

Max returns to the hospital of his first year and reunites with his friends from Trust Me, I'm a Junior Doctor who Max fans have grown to know and love. Fuelled by tea, cake, and regular fags behind the hospital bins, he works marathon shifts in the dementia and A&E wards treating a wide and colourful range of patients that somehow his previous years didn't prepare him for. Dementia, though serious, is not without its funny moments, and Max soon realises that one of the benefits of working in the memory clinic is that patients frequently forget to turn up! But the patients who do show are charming and lovable - from Mr Brownlee, a removal man with Mad Cow Disease who removes furniture from the ward in the belief that he's still at work, to Valerie, a senior whose dementia has convinced her that Max is her son. As we follow Max on his hospital rounds, we fight with him to save the A&E ward from shutting down, to expose and improve on the deficient care in private nursing homes, to defend his friend's honour after she's assaulted by an older male, and to ordain the marriage of a gay couple in their 80s. All while sharing tea and swapping stories with Ruby, Flora, Lewis and Supriya in the cosiness of their shared flat and the grunginess of the doctor's mess hall. This is Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs and Casualty for bookish types - a charming and funny memoir of a young doctor's life.
