The Doctor Will See You Now cover

This book provides an intimate glimpse into the life of a GP, exploring the emotional highs and lows of patient care in The Doctor Will See You Now.

In The Doctor Will See You Now, Dr. Amir Khan shares his remarkable journey over 15 years as a general practitioner in one of the UK's busiest surgeries. This insightful narrative captures the essence of his experiences, detailing the challenges and triumphs that come with the territory. From the rookie days filled with uncertainty to becoming a trusted partner, Amir's stories reflect the deep connections he forms with his patients, highlighting both the joys and sorrows of medical practice.

The book introduces a diverse array of patients who have left a lasting impact on Amir's life. Through vivid anecdotes, he recounts moments of unexpected joy, such as the pregnant woman who arrives at the surgery just in time to give birth, and the heart-wrenching stories of families navigating loss and grief. Each encounter is an opportunity for Amir to learn about love, resilience, and the human spirit, often condensed into the brief 10 minutes he has to make a diagnosis.

Updated with a new chapter addressing his experiences during the coronavirus pandemic, The Doctor Will See You Now offers a poignant look at the realities of frontline medicine. It is a testament to the dedication of healthcare professionals and a celebration of the human experience, revealing the profound impact of compassion and community in times of crisis.
