This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor book by Adam Kay
By Adam KayThis Is Going To Hurt pulls back the cubicle curtain to reveal what happens in the ward and beyond through a junior doctor's eyes. Get ready for 97-hour working weeks, understanding what it's like to have to make a fast decision that determines another human being's fate, a tidal wave of bodily fluids, and the rather bleak reality that after all that, you come away with a payslip that barely covers your outgoings.
This book isn't just about life on the medical front line; it is also a touching and painful reminder of what it means to be a human being with our fragile and often perplexing bodies, unique personalities, and amazing capacity to care for one another.
This critically acclaimed book remained as a Sunday Times Number One Bestseller for more than eight months and scooped up a whopping four National Book Awards. Kay is currently touring and has also written a second book, 'Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas'>
You should read this book if…
- You want to discover the realities and secrets of what it's like to be an everyday hero of the NHS
- You find bodily functions more amusing than outrageous
- You want to learn, laugh, and be moved to tears at the same time
