The author had a thirty six year career in nursing. He experienced both sides of the profession, as a nurse, and as a patient. Her describes in detail what he views as good and bad nursing. His book contains many anecdotes from his career. Where nursing was good he praises it, and where it was bad he pulls no punches and makes clear his opinions.
His career began in the military, the Royal Army Medical Corps, (RAMC), several years which were full of incidents, some amusing and others that highlight the disorganised chaos that sometimes seemed to prevail.
Following his military service, he worked as an Occupational Health Nurse in a large, heavy steel producing works before joining the NHS for the rest of his career. During these years he was witness to multiple changes within the NHS, some he regarded as good, some bad, along with varying levels of nursing care, the standards of which he regarded at times, as questionable.
The book provokes discussion and the basis for personal reflection by nurses today on their own practice, now, in the past and the future.
