Welcome to the life of a junior doctor: 97-hour weeks, life and death decisions, a constant tsunami of bodily fluids, and the hospital parking meter earns more than you.
Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights and missed weekends, Adam Kay’s This is Going to Hurt provides a no-holds-barred account of his time at the NHS front line. Hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking, this diary is the whole lot you wanted to understand – and quite a lot of stuff you did not – about life off and on the hospital ward.
