Beware, Christmas! What Happens to Those Who Could Not Avoid Duty During the Holidays

Christmas is approaching, and millions of medical workers are going on duty. They are no longer expected at the festive table, as there is more work during this period than ever. Diseases and accidents, unfortunately, cannot wait: pneumonia, flu, intestinal infections, food poisoning, bone fractures, and much more falls on the shoulders of doctors and nurses. But this does not mean that the holiday is spoiled, as doctors have no choice but to celebrate it their way, as Adam Kay describes, the author of the sensational bestseller "This Is Going to Hurt." In seven years of work, he was on duty six times during Christmas, which allowed him to collect funny and touching stories that are included in this book.
