CITADEL: THE CLASSIC NOVEL THAT INSPIRED THE NHS (PB)

When newly qualified doctor Andrew Manson takes up his first post in a Welsh mining community, his idealism and enthusiasm are soon strained to the limit as he discovers the reality of performing operations on a kitchen table, unspeakable sanitation, common infantile cholera and systemic corruption. Andrew’s outspoken manner wins him both friends and enemies, but he risks losing his idealism when the fashionable, greedy world of London medicine claims him. With a foreword by Adam Kay, the bestselling author of This is Going to Hurt.
