Mr Smiley Face: Adventures in the NHS and Elsewhere (eBOOK)

Flying high with two thriving businesses, both his children newly married and enjoying successful careers of their own, he had everything he could ever wish for.

But at the height of his success, he collided with the harsh reality of negligence within the UK’s National Health Service. What was meant to be a routine, day-case keyhole surgery to remove his gallbladder, a minor inconvenience, became a life-altering ordeal.

He was expected home the same evening and back at work within two weeks. Instead, he didn’t make it home for another 46 days, due to the negligence of his surgeon and a surgical registrar.

This compelling narrative chronicles his battle against triple sepsis, followed by the long and arduous road to partial recovery, complicated by on-going post-sepsis syndrome. In vivid detail, we witness his indomitable spirit, buoyed by the unwavering support of his family.

Despite the gravity of the subject matter, the tone remains engaging, humorous, and uplifting, offering profound insight into the human capacity to endure, adapt, and ultimately triumph against overwhelming adversity.
