Does It Hurt When I Press Here?: An A&E doctor's diagnosis of the NHS

By Willy M Black

What if the hospital you trust with your life isn't the well-oiled machine you imagine?

We walk into Emergency Departments believing there's a silent army of systems, protocols and perfectly coordinated staff ready to spring into action. But behind the curtain lies a very different reality - one that is messy, chaotic, under-resourced and held together only by exhausted humans doing their best in impossible conditions.

In Does It Hurt When I Press Here?, frontline healthcare worker Willy M Black pulls back the curtain on the National Health Service and reveals what really happens behind the scenes. From unwiped trolleys to dangerous staffing levels and the quiet emotional toll on staff, this book exposes the uncomfortable truths most people never see.

Some stories will make you laugh in disbelief.
Some will make you wince.
Some will make you furious.
All will make you think.

This is not an attack on the NHS - it's an honest portrait from someone who cares deeply about it and wants it to survive. Through real experiences and raw insight, you'll discover why the system is struggling, how frontline staff cope, and what we can all do to make healthcare safer, cleaner and better for everyone.

If you've ever wondered what really happens after you hand over your body, your health and your trust to a hospital... you're about to find out.

Revealing. Disturbing. Surprisingly funny.
A must-read for anyone who uses the NHS - which is all of us.
