mondayxius reviewed Language of Kindness by Christie Watson
Review of 'Language of Kindness' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I wanted to find more books about healthcare as I'm considering finding a job in the NHS, and this was a really eye-opening read. I already had a lot of respect for NHS staff, but this somehow multiplied it by a thousand.
As someone with multiple family members working in the NHS, I'm often vaguely aware of what happens with certain health problems and procedures, but the author helpfully explains how and why, and makes everything much clearer. Her experiences are described in amazing detail and were easy to visualise, even without being personally familiar with what's being described, and were cleverly combined with statistics and medical history.
