As a frequent flyer of the NHS, I know all too well about the politicking and skullduggery that goes on behind the curtains!  

I was completely absorbed from the get go with the storyline.  It's actually based in an area of Glasgow quite near to me and therefore I really felt like I was running along Great Western Road with Ashley and Chris (metaphorically anyway, lol).

As a fellow 999 worker I see people like Professor Stone all the time.  Glory Hounds but work shy, great at schmoozing but wouldn't leave them in charge of the tv remote control!  The consultants on Ashley and Chris's side are more human than most that I've met!  

I really enjoyed the way that Ashley and Chris are just friends, they are comrades in arms and that competitiveness between them is hilarious.  Some of the patient tales are all too believable and I must admit I was completely sold on the whole "oceans eleven" heist type story weaving through the book.  I actually thought it was quite comparable to some episodes of the New Amsterdam show. Yes, I had to suspend my belief that this would all happen in a hospital today but let's face it - bits of it possibly could!

If you ever thought that doctors and nurses just turn up and solve your problems with the click of some fingers, this story will soon put your right.
