So when i found out he had wrote another about working in drug and alcohol, I had to read it, as, i too, work in that area. His observations and preconceptions were spot on. As he says, he comes from a 'Respectable Middle Class Background' and his idea that he would be working with the stereotypical 'junkie' and 'old men carrying around brown paper bags containing booze' were soon gone, when he is confronted with a woman who is an 80 year old drug dealer, among many other characters, who prove that drug and alcohol is not confined to the council estates and the homeless, and can affect anybody. This book is sad along with being comical; as Max tries to change things and make a difference, where a lot of his patients sadly don't want to. And are only at the clinic to stop going to jail or get the methadone to sell on to buy heroin. This is a modern day tale of the people we see around everyday and instantly judge as 'low lifes' without knowing the background of how these people got to where they are; Max realises he has to understand that the successes are few and far between, and without becoming uncaring, learns the hard way how manipulative substance abusers can be, and the lengths they will go to, to score anything. And on a huge learning curve, manages to still care about them and look at these people in a different light. there for the grace of God etc. Review: Interesting insight - Page turner book which followed on easily from book 1. Conjured up great images of his characters. Lots of rollercoaster moments. Look forward to book 3. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 237,317 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 100 in Medical Biographies 130 in Doctors & Medicine Humour 1,996 in General Humour | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,861) | | Dimensions | 12.8 x 2.2 x 19.8 cm | | Edition | UK ed. | | ISBN-10 | 0340919930 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0340919934 | | Item weight | 226 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | 18 Feb. 2010 | | Publisher | Hodder Paperbacks | ## Images ![Where Does it Hurt?: What the Junior Doctor did next - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rhX3zaXWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great read *by M***8 on 4 May 2010* I have read Max Pemberton's first book, 'Trust Me, I'm a junior Doctor' and really enjoyed it.
