Review: Enlightening and enjoyable - This book is a very interesting and informative read; the humour and pathos are expertly intertwined and the style of writing make it an absolute pleasure to read. I loved the honesty and humanity it portrays throughout and I look forward to the next books in the series. Thank you Max. Review: Your life in their exhausted hands - We will all pass through a hospital at some time in our lives and many will, like with any profession dedicate many years of work and study. This is a great read whichever side of the hospital bed you are on. It describes the student like lifestyle of these young professionals and the deep end learning that they are thrust into. The book is now a bit dated so it shouldn't be read entirely as a literal account of how things are today. Unusually for such a light read it does stir some powerful emotions in between the amusement. The book maintains interest through the people in the book other than the author, so it is hard to put down. The author writes humorously and engagingly but yet looks for meaning and purpose to what he is doing. To that end he gets on his soapbox a bit which he is entitled to do but at time he wrote this objected to nurse prescribing on the basis that they didn't have his training on how the drugs actually work. This surprises me that he held this view when the book details at length unfinished meals, drinks and conversations. Surely degree qualified nurses working in their specialist areas, with years of experience, shouldn't need to defer to a newly and broadly trained, tired and over_stretched junior doctor in this matter? Whilst I enjoyed this book, I am not yet convinced that his follow up books will be as good as can be the case with sequels and those difficult second albums. I am happy to receive comments. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 56,331 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 39 in Doctors & Medicine Humour 40 in Medical Biographies 104 in Biographies of Professionals & Academics (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (5,339) | | Dimensions | 12.6 x 2.4 x 19.6 cm | | ISBN-10 | 0340962054 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0340962053 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | 7 Aug. 2008 | | Publisher | Hodder Paperbacks | ## Images ![Trust Me, I'm a (Junior) Doctor: The hilarious and thought-provoking account of life on the NHS frontline - a must-read for fans of Adam Kay - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719PfGeMKCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enlightening and enjoyable *by A***R on 27 July 2025* This book is a very interesting and informative read; the humour and pathos are expertly intertwined and the style of writing make it an absolute pleasure to read.

As a nurse who has spent years getting used to the `new batch` twice a year (and dreading it ) I found it illuminating reading from the other perspective, identifying with so many of the circumstances described. I also appreciated Max's observations on nursing. it's an enjoyable easy read full of chuckles . ## Frequently Bought Together - Trust Me, I'm a (Junior) Doctor - This Is Going to Hurt [TV Tie-in]: Secret Diaries of a Young Doctor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48649402-trust-me-im-a-junior-doctor-the-hilarious-and-thought](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/48649402-trust-me-im-a-junior-doctor-the-hilarious-and-thought) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
