ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
“This is Going to Hurt” by Adam Kay is a candid and often humorous memoir about his time as a junior doctor in the NHS. Through a series of personal anecdotes, Kay shares the intense pressures, emotional tolls, and absurdities of working in medicine. The book delves into the struggles of long hours, difficult patients, and life-or-death decisions, all while navigating the bureaucratic challenges and flaws within the healthcare system. With dark humor and poignant reflections, Kay provides an honest portrayal of the medical profession, balancing the realities of the job with the need for better support and reforms.
