The multi-million copy bestseller Book of the Year at The National Book Awards
‘Painfully funny. The pain and the funniness somehow add up to something entirely good, entirely noble and entirely loveable.' - Stephen Fry
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 on the NHS front line. Hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking, this diary is everything you wanted to know – and more than a few things you didn't – about life on and off the hospital ward.
Sunday Times Number One Bestseller for over eight months and winner of a record FOUR National Book Awards: Book of the Year, Non-Fiction Book of the Year, New Writer of the Year and Zoe Ball Book Club Book of the Year.
This edition includes extra diary entries and a new afterword by the author.

Five stars, truly. Best book and best message about the importance of the NHS I have read in years.

Ik ben bezig aan een nostalgische Grey’s anatomy marathon wat kan verklaren waarom ik dit boek heb opgepakt. In het begin dacht ik dat het fictie was, net zoals de tv-serie... maar blijkt dus een écht dagboek te zijn van een dokter in Engeland. Je wil lachen en wenen tegelijk, wat een toestanden! Wat een rauwe werkelijkheid. Je krijgt een blik achter de schermen en ziet de menselijkheid van de dokters en de onmenselijkheid van het instituut. Leest als een trein, blijft nazinderen.Quote:“So I told them the truth: the hours are terrible, the pay is terrible, the conditions are terrible; you’re underappreciated, unsupported, disrespected and frequently physically endangered. But there’s no better job in the world.”

This is a beautiful, raw, funny and honest look on healthcare in general. Everyone should read this!

I loved this book, enjoyed it so much! It's absolutely hilarious at times, but also heartbreaking. I will be reading more of Adam Kay's work.
