Confessions of a GP Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This book wasn't exactly what I expected. What I had thought would be a fiction-like story encapsulating Dr. Benjamin's experiences as a doctor in England, turned out to be more like a collection of very short essays, with no connection between them and no logical flow. That said, most of the individual stories were interesting, if only for a better insight into the life of a GP. I did learn more about the workings of the NHS, and was amused by some of the patient anecdotes. It wasn't a bad read, and while I personally am unlikely to re-read it, I would recommend it to young doctors or medical students, as it gives an idea about what the GP life is like. "

" Daniels is witty, and entertaining but very honest as well. As a doctor I highly recommend the book as it is a true picture of work on the fore front of patient care. Well worth a read! "

" Not worth reading, very little content, i was so bored reading it i couldn't wait to finish, nothing at all like it's description very dull indeed! "

" A lighthearted piece of reality humour. A nice easy read for on the train :-) Having an insiders view on the NHS was very enlightening and interesting. "

" This book started off very funny. I really enjoyed his opinions as recently studying health studies, biology and health science I understood things people may not! Really inspiring book in terms of me moving making my big move into the NHS and what to expect with those tricky patients! Just sometimes a little bit boring. "

" Enjoyable, funny and at times sad. Learned a lot. "

" not my usual choice of book but I fancied something light hearted. at times it was funny but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would have. it was a shame but also makes you feel a little bit less of an inconvenience when you do go to the dr when you're ill! "

" Funny! Kept reading out passages to my family. Not one to read on the train unless you want to attract attention! "

" Takes the glamour out of medicine with a laugh. "

" Funny, easy to read, liked it a lot. "

" Oh my word, what can I say about this book. Overall a funny funny book with moments which are touching and others which make you stop and think. This is not my usual type of book but for a quick, easy read I highly recommend it. "

" It was ok, some parts were funny (e.g. SLS Shit Life Syndrome) but other parts were a bit boring. "

" I really wanted this to be better and was left feeling quite disappointed by it "

" A good lighthearted read and gives an insight into the day to day life of a GP with a sense of humor! Although I'm glad I only paid 99p for it in iBooks! "

" The review will be on my blog on Tuesday 2nd February. "

" Its a quick enjoyable read and it dawned on me that I have never called a single doctor - well doctor. I've always addressed them by their first name. "

" This book was interesting and entertaining. However it was a bit repetitive at parts I'm afraid. I dragged on a little sometimes as well. But overall, it was enjoyable. "

" Although some of the anecdotes were very funny, the way that the author wrote did come across as being rather pompous and preachy. The stories about the comical patients were short and the social commentary that followed many of them was, in my opinion, far too long, "

" The review will be on my blog on Tuesday 2nd February. "

" A fun book for reading on the train as it's broken into 3-4 page anecdotes making it ideal for short journeys. An interesting look at the NHS and the ethical problems that some GPs face when confronted with the lowest members of society. "

" Pretty interesting to read and very funny in places, but not structured enough for my liking. Reads a bit too much like a random diary - some post-editing may not be 'authentic', but can be done whilst keeping integrity whilst improving the read. "
