“Relatable and real, a true patient experience in the modern NHS. If everyone read this account, I think the world would be a better place.” Junior Doctor, NHS Wales
“A window into the work we do - and heart-warming proof of why we do it.” Senior Staff Nurse, NHS Wales
“A very powerful, absorbing and moving read. Brilliant.” Counsellor, Conwy Mind
“ This is an important book, exploring the human experience of illness in the realities of the first wave of the COVID pandemic. A close examination of the kindness of others, the cruelty of death and the bigger picture. It is true to life and often brutally honest about the working conditions in the modern NHS. It is inspiring and thought provoking; to shine a light of those who make the NHS work and how in the worst of circumstances often the best of us come to the forefront, only to realise they were there all along.” Junior Doctor, NHS Wales
“This is an honest and emotional account of the realities of having COVID-19. It illustrates clearly not only the physical impact but the trauma and emotional impact too. This is hugely relatable if you have been through this, and a moving insight if you haven’t. It shows how the committed care of others, personal strength and hope make recovery possible.” Counsellor, Mind
