This Book Will Hurt You: The Secret Diary of a Junior Doctor

Welcome to the life of a junior doctor: a 97-hour work week, life-and-death decisions, a constant tsunami of human fluids, and finally the discovery that the hospital parking attendant earns more per hour than you.

Adam Kay was working as a doctor from 2004 to 2010, before a terrible accident in the hospital led him to rethink his future. Adam wrote his diary throughout his internship at the hospital, which later turned into one of the best-selling books of all time. This book presents us with detailed scenes from the life of a junior doctor, with his joys, pains, sacrifices, and constant suffering with bureaucracy, and offers a love letter to the doctors who are constantly working to save our lives in hospitals.

A diary written secretly in long days, sleepless nights, and restless weekends, Adam Kay presents in this book the story of his work as a doctor in the first lines of the NHS in Britain. It's a funny, scary, and heart wrenching book. In this diary you'll find everything you ever wanted to know - and more - about life in a hospital ward.
