Before I met Dr Max Pemberton, author of Trust me, I'm a Junior Doctor, its follow up, Tell me where it Hurts and columnist for the Daily Telegraph, I expected some hardened veteran Doctor, with a thousand yard stare to send chills down your spine.

Here was a man who wasn't afraid to tell the rest of the world how utterly out of his depth he felt during his first year as a Junior Doctor. Not only that, he didn't give a shit if his bosses or the government didn't agree with his opinions, or the way he portrayed the NHS.
