An absolute rocker! 5 stars I ugly laughed, almost cried, rolled my eyes and had a great time. This book was definitely free therapy and would 100% recommend to anyone who isn't squeamish or sensitive. Kay has a great autobiographical style, and as well as drawing me in with the humour, I feel like he has educated, counselled , and given me a voice.

Adam Kay is an incredible storyteller. If you or anyone you know has ever worked in healthcare, you must read his books. This is his most personal, and it's all the more impactful for it.

my favourite chapters in this book were the flashback chapters to his time in medicine. Although I prefer This is Going to Hurt, I still enjoyed it. (Definitely check trigger warnings - lots of dark humour used)

This man is honestly so funny, the footnotes have me howling. Did make me cry at the end though.
