As a medical student aspiring to become an OB/GYN myself this made me incredibly sad. The scenarios and funny scenes are 100% accurate but as a healthcare worker they have a bitter taste. This book is amazing for lay persons that have rarely seen the hospital.

Funny yet heartbreaking. I'd not read it right before, during or after dinner though.

Definitely makes me feel for the doctors and have more empathy
One part of the book was so funny I was still laughing 5 minutes later

7/10 - The comical, heartfelt, and eye-opening diary entries of Adam Kay, junior doctor specialising in obstetrics and gynaecology, during his time in the NHS.
Delivered with typical dry British humour, the story is eye opening, and brilliantly and disgustingly graphic, but is such an interesting and honest insight into the UK health service. While I recognise the hard work that staff in the public health service undertake, I can’t let it pass that there was a couple of occasions of overt fatphobia and medical misogyny within the story.
The audiobook is read by the author, and particularly during the last chapter it really shows the impact this catastrophic event had on him, even 7 years after leaving the NHS. The letter to the Health Secretary and the afterword are an important part of the story too, don’t miss them.
