A Book to Help Reduce Soaring NHS Costs
The NHS is almost like a religion. But its costs are soaring, and often the money could be used on prevention, rather than bed-blocking.
This Book May Save Your Life is a funny book by a popular NHS surgeon, showing truthful and scientific ways to feel better. The book’s chapters covers:
- The Brain
- The Heart
- The Lungs
- Sleep
- Bones
- Sight
- Hearing
- Taste
- Touch
- Genitals
- Bugs
- Death!
Let me describe my job in non-medical terms. I slice into people when they’re asleep (with their consent) and remove things. I should stress that I’m one of the good guys, because despite missing some stuff from their bodies, they feel better as a result.
Over the course of my career, I’ve had the blessing of witnessing miracles and tragedies. I’ve come to appreciate that the human body is both a wonder of biology and a total death-trap.
Throughout the book, you’ll find ‘save yourself’ health hacks. I’ve no intention of reminding you to blink and breathe. His tips include:
- Eating healthy foods that you like
- Drinking around 2 litres of water daily
- Taking regular exercise
- No cigarettes (nor vaping)
- Little or no alcohol
The book then goes through each organ of the body, with quick fixes (and a little first aid thrown in too for some chapters).
