Hospital!

When I started reading this book and the first sentence was this book was written in front of a live studio audience, I knew it was going to be something special and it was! Dr. Camus it’s one of the head doctors at this hospital who’s name is too long to put in a review and he is our again he demeans everyone he has the attitude of someone who is greatly skilled plenty competent and good-looking yet he is none of these things. His language and attitude is so bad the hospital administrator hired a bleep man to follow Dr. Camus around to bleep every bad word he says and the guy has become quite skilled at it so much though he is garnered even the doctors respect and as I’ve already stated the doctor respects no one. When the powers that be finally have enough of Dr. Camus and his bad attitude they sent him to a rehab of sorts and although he isn’t happy about it he agrees to go. During his first treatment which is to be hypnotized to take on the opposite characteristics of the nasty ones he now possesses The Hypnote therapist who’s doing the treatment dies soon after giving him his instructions and his attitude is so turned around he leaves treatment and decides to go back to work. And trust me if a nasty means spiritd Dr. Kamu makes you laugh then beware of the new and improved nice respectful thoughtful Dr. Camus. This book was so funny it is so hilarious and if you read this book for any reason read it but when he meets Nurse Blanch oh that made me laugh so much I had tears coming out of my eyes it was so hilarious. I am not even talking about the color conversation that happened right after that I don’t know where this hilarious author has been but I am glad I found him. If you want to laugh until you cry read the hospital by Kyle Bradford Jones this book is so funny it’s such a pick me up I really and thoroughly enjoyed it. I received this book from NetGalley and black rose writing but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

This is a shorter and lighter version of House of God, but with a lot less adult content and a censor that follows the main character around with an air horn to get rid of profanity.

This book pokes a lot of fun at healthcare, somewhat accurately unfortunately. Made me laugh out loud several times. I read it in about an hour. I also for some reason pictured Dr. Camus (Cay-mus not Cay-moo NOT FRENCH!) as the evil chef from Ratatouille.

Delightful quick read about the sad state of the American healthcare system.

I read this book in a few hours and it was very enjoyable. Described as "a medical satire of Unhealthy Proportions", this short story was one I needed to read for a chuckle.

The protagonist of the story by Kyle Bradford Jones is Dr. Camus, and he is a jerk, likes no one, belittles everyone. He isn't even a good doctor as he misdiagnoses most of his cases. His favorite diagnoses are pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoniosis which is his favorite Wikipedia diagnosis. He doesn't even like himself I don't think.

The CEO of the hospital, Rosencrantz can't replace him because it would be costly and time consuming. He has a Censor go around after Camus to try to calm Camus and his outbursts.

Dr. Camus has decided to send his patients to a different hospital is when Rosencrantz has a brilliant idea. A one-month suspension without pay and Dr. Camus has to undergo hypnotism to try to change his attitude and behavior.

After coming back from his suspension and hypnosis he is a changed man. Kind of freaks the staff as they do not know how to handle this changed person. There is another problem, the hypnotist, Amazing Ralph, dies and takes the word that will bring Dr. Camus out of his 'spell'.

I found that this story was very funny, laughed out loud a few times, especially the name of the hospital, The Peloton Catalyst Wellness Code Blue Memorial Hospital of her Motherly Excellence. The author took a few liberties in that every time the hospital was mentioned, the name was turned around into another name.

It is fun to read something just for the fun of it. I have to give this book 5 stars because it made me laugh, which most books I read don't do. Plus, the author is a physician, so I imagine he has come across people like Dr. Camus in one form or another.

If you want a good chuckle and a quick read, you can't go wrong with Hospital!

A quick read with some decent humor (which can be difficult to pull off). It has it's moments. It's good to see an author that knows when to end a story (and not draw it out).

Thanks very much for the free review copy for review!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was a quick, easy, and lighthearted read that definitely met the description of "unhealthy satire". I thought it was endearing that some of the ideas for the book came from the author's children, and am impressed by the fact that it was written in front of an audience. Regarding the content of the book itself, I think the premise was unique and I was entertained by aspects like the Censor and the narrator's interjections. My primary criticism is that it sometimes felt like the story couldn't decide whether it wanted to be presented in book format or performed on a stage. Nevertheless, it was a fever dream of an experience reading this.

A humorous, fun, and quick read if there ever was one. As someone who chronically thinks most people dislike them--and probably for good reason-- I can relate to the main character, as I'm sure plenty of others can, if they only see a sliver of themselves in him. This was a delight to read, start to finish.
