Summary
A gripping exposé of New Zealand's failing health system.
This compelling tell-all reveals the realities of working as a doctor in New Zealand.Fast-paced and darkly funny, it chronicles ten years of working in medicine - treating the victims of the Whakaari White Island eruption, being on the frontline during pandemic, dealing with chronic understaffing -and sheds a light on where and why the health system is collapsing.
Covering everything from a bullying and toxic culture to the alarming disparities between the public and private health sectors and years of mismanaged priorities, this is a clear-eyed account of a health system on life support.
