Critics Review
Matthew not only cracks open his vault of incredible anecdotes, he weaves both reflections and research into a whole that is simultaneously fascinating, frank and genuinely funny. It no be easy to be blessed with melanin & working in medicine - and Matthew’s true skill is engaging readers beyond the journey of just one plucky doc with locs. Are You Really the Doctor treats you to a rare inside perspective on the realities of the NHS and is a remarkable exploration of the many ways race and privilege interact in modern medicine. * Sophie Duker *Savagely honest and frequently eye-opening. Matthew Hutchinson writes about his outsider’s journey through the medical profession with bracing clarity, sharp insight and enliveningly mordant humour. * Jimi Famurewa *
