This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor

"This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor" is a memoir written by Adam Kay, a junior doctor who worked in the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom. The book is a collection of journal entries that Kay wrote during his time as a doctor, and it provides an unflinching and often hilarious look at the daily life of a junior doctor. The book covers the grueling hours, the endless paperwork, the life-or-death decisions and the moments of joy and triumph. It also provides a glimpse into the effects of the underfunding and overworking in the NHS, and the human cost of the system. This is Going to Hurt is a candid, witty and moving memoir that gives voice to the unsung heroes of the NHS and will resonate with readers who have ever been touched by the healthcare system. This book is a must-read for anyone with an interest in the NHS, medicine, or simply a good memoir.
