A Dim Prognosis (Our health system in crisis - and a doctor's view on how to fix it)

A gripping exposé of New Zealand's failing health system.

This compelling tell-all reveals the realities of working as a doctor in New Zealand.

Fast-paced and darkly funny, it chronicles ten years of working in medicine - treating the victims of the Whakaari White Island eruption, being on the frontline during pandemic, dealing with chronic understaffing -and sheds a light on where and why the health system is collapsing.

Covering everything from a bullying and toxic culture to the alarming disparities between the public and private health sectors and years of mismanaged priorities, this is a clear-eyed account of a health system on life support.

'Brave, funny and heart-rendingly sad . . . every healthcare worker in Aotearoa will feel seen.' - Dr Emma Wehipeihana, There's a Cure for This

'A must-read for all who care about the future of publicly funded healthcare in Aotearoa.' - Dr David Galler, Things That Matter
