Everything Is True
This is a non-fiction memoir from the frontline of the NHS during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its central theme is the clash between grief, duty, and humanity under extreme pressure, told through the eyes of a junior doctor. It speaks to readers seeking insight into hospital life, medical decision-making, and the human cost of a global crisis.
Presented as a diary-like account, the narrative follows the first forty days on A&E and the acute medical wards. Working thirteen-hour shifts, the author navigates personal loss—her sister’s death—while tending patients, colleagues, and the fragile line between hope and exhaustion. Readers are drawn into crowded corridors, rapid triage, and the emotional toll of care.
The experience is intimate and unflinching—an insider’s view that blends precise clinical detail with raw feeling. The writing moves between the clinical, the political, and the personal, offering a thoughtful examination of burnout, dehumanisation, and resilience. It rewards careful reading and reflection, with scenes that linger after the final page.
