This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor by Adam Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Every single person that has benefited from the British NHS should read this book.
It is powerful. POWERFUL.
The people that work as front line medical staff deserve every bit of respect in the world. So next time you’re having a knee replacement done or giving birth to your baby in the maternity ward, just spare a thought to these overworked, underpaid, taken for granted Angels.
It’s little wonder they appear a tad detached from the job and patients sometimes. I’d be too if I was working a 90 hour week. Ask them how they are, and BE A NICE PATIENT. They don’t deserve the shit they get.
On the flip side, This is Going to Hurt is hilarious. Adam Kay has a way with words that made me feel like I erupted my 25 year old caesarean scar multiple times I laughed so damn hard.
This is a book I will never forget.
I haven’t blogged for just over a year due to my Dad passing away. I’m just getting back into reading again and felt this had to be published. For those of you who still follow me and read this, THANK YOU.

I agree. It was funny when it need to be and serious when it needed to be. I actually have a review of it too on my blog.
