Book Shambles
Adam Kay’s first book in 2017, This is Going to Hurt, was the bestselling non-fiction title of the decade in the UK and now he’s edited an anthology of stories titled Dear NHS: 100 Stories to Say Thank You. He joins Robin and Josie to talk about the book, the incredible NHS compared to US healthcare, COVID, why children aren’t learning enough about the body in education and the issues with having a famous patient.
