Firstly, bought from Battersea Bookshop last April.
Secondly, this book is a clear exposé of the horrors of science and a lack of care for patient safety (a fitting read for my job).
Whilst not an immediate impact on my family in terms of parent/siblings dying. My Mum, her 3 siblings and my Pa lost 3 brothers/uncles. My Pa the only brother without Haemophilia, watched his three brothers die after receiving infected blood, whilst being treated for Haemophilia. Two died of HIV related complications, the other of Hepatitis C.
Another source of great shame for the UK, the government and the NHS.
