An incredibly clear and concise collection of short essays about the state of our NHS currently, which seamlessly weaves potential solutions to the crises in between the stark statistics and moving first hand accounts from Dr. Francis. I really enjoyed the way this was written, with Francis somehow deftly combining the upsetting and challenging state of affairs of our current NHS with excerpts from Nye Bevan's original powerfully hopeful dream of the NHS, showing just how far we have strayed from the healthcare service can and should be. Francis masterfully combines these two things, somehow or other maintaining an upbeat, positive tone that practically addresses many of the problems that he identifies. An absolute must for everyone to read!
