About this deal

Yes it is difficult to get appointments but like Dr Khan I think most GPS want the best for their patients and go above and beyond. If you had chosen to get bone forceps, it’s located up to 100 meters away, but still inside the fort.

It is easy to understand and even if you don't have any kind of medical knowledge, Max makes it understandable what is going on for most people.They asked questions regarding the acceptability of robots in health care, including whether people would be comfortable with robots performing not only triage but also other tasks such as performing nasal swabs, inserting a catheter, or turning a patient over in bed. Amir has also been a regular on Lorraine, and numerous other news outlets, providing advice and insight on the coronavirus. It’s so well written giving a real insight into the day to day trials of a GP and the struggles they have to endure. The great thing about Max’s writing is that he has a fantastic ability to explain things, whether it be disease, treatment or bureaucracy, in easily understood terms. When he began it was an attractive profession, this is no longer so, you have to achieve the impossible in the 10 minutes allocated to each patient, where appointments are hard to come by, in a NHS facing unprecedented pressures.

He throws himself into various aspects of his work with great enthusiasm, and on social media he posts regularly about his love of animals, his garden, his nephews and nieces, food, dancing and, of course, the formidable Mama Khan!a patient producing a urine sample in the consulting room in front of him instead of leaving the room and going to the toilet. He has appeared on shows such as GPs Behind Closed Doors, How to Lose a stone for Summer and Why Can’t I Sleep? I really enjoyed the first two, so my Mum send it to me as a present after I handed in my dissertation.

Along with his professional life, he also touches upon the personal lives of himself and his friends. To that end, they worked with Boston Dynamics to create a mobile robot that could interact with patients as they waited in the emergency department. Surprisingly, people were pretty accepting of the idea of having a robot do a nasal swab, which suggests that potential engineering efforts could go into thinking about building some of these systems,” Chai says.

He will also be telling us all about the re-release of his paperback “The Doctor Will See You Now” featuring exclusive new chapters following the outbreak of Covid-19 and the ongoing vaccine roll out. Given that NZ has been attempting to follow in that directions, and private health insurers are even now pushing for this new Labour government to 'partner' with them for the 'benefit' of citizens this was a useful read although somewhat depressing. This book relates Dr Khan's experiences as a GP in an inner-city Bradford surgery, describing the highs and lows of dealing with a wide range of patients both in the surgery and on home visits. There is a slightly odd false vibe which arises from the whole confidentiality protecting metric of 'I'm not describing an actual patient here', by no means specific to his memoir. The doctor didn't speak any English, but there was a patient who could, so the doctor left the surgery door open and would shout out the questions very loudly and the patient sitting in the waiting room would shout back the translation equally loudly.
