Product Information

We’re actively working on robots that can help provide care to maximize the safety of both the patient and the health care workforce. A tatty piece of paper, the contents of which will change their lives, and the lives of thousands across the country, forever. I may only get 10 minutes with a person, and often that is not nearly enough, but I can make it count.

I really loved this memoir, it was told in a down to earth manner, and, though utterly heartbreaking at times, (and I’m not embarrassed to say that I shed more than a few tears) it also had its share of laughter and joy, and how very timely that the publication of this memoir, arrives in the year that Covid-19 has turned the world upside down.It gives you insight into the NHS, and particularly care of elderly people without being in the least bit preachy or overbearing. The scene starting at 1:22 is a reference to Mickey Mouse animation short "Thru The Mirror" (1939) where Mickey also dances with life sized gloves, using a cane and top hat. I really enjoyed the first two, so my Mum send it to me as a present after I handed in my dissertation. If you had chosen to get bone forceps, it’s located up to 100 meters away, but still inside the fort.

My stomach always makes it a point to growl when the nurses are serving food to everyone on the ward.It is easy to understand and even if you don't have any kind of medical knowledge, Max makes it understandable what is going on for most people. It’s a decent read but maybe not as moving as When Breath Becomes Air or as funny as This Is Going to Hurt. I'm sure Amir had help writing this book, but the writing style was really engaging and easy to read. Given that NZ has been attempting to follow in that directions, and private health insurers are even now pushing for this new Labour government to 'partner' with them for the 'benefit' of citizens this was a useful read although somewhat depressing. I'm not a doctor and even I know, with their hours and shift patterns, it would never run smoothly to the effect that someone would always be home with the kid.
