Personable, Insightful, Humorous

Twas The Nightshift Before Christmas by Adam Kay is an amusing nonfiction book about all the Christmases the author spent working in various hospitals. The new guy always picked up the Christmas shifts.

As with all Adam Kay’s books, this is in the form of diary entries and footnotes.

Adam Kay writes with humor and in a very personable style. This is my third book by him and I feel like I ‘know’ him!

I can recommend all his books, whether you work in the health service or not. Obviously, health professionals may well be able to identify themselves in the situations the author finds himself in. For the lay person, the book is both interesting and highly amusing with tongue in cheek humor and observations from Adam Kay.
