"Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas" by Adam Kay. Kay was an OB/GYN registrar, so very nearly consultant, when he burnt out and left the medical profession. His first book was a best seller and has been made into a stage production (perhaps also is being filmed?). This is a tiny, very brief sequel to that, concerning working as a young, ethnically Jewish doctor over Christmas EVERY SINGLE YEAR, because the NHS is overstretched, he was young, he didn't have children, and because he is Jewish. It is quite funny, but it can also pack a sucker punch.
