Funny and well-written, an interesting insight into medical practice in the UK and the toll it takes on the doctors and nurses at the “most wonderful time of the year”

adventurous emotional funny informative reflective relaxing fast-paced

4.5

Mix of funny jokes/stories and sad stories. Interesting snippets of the authors experiences as a doctor in the UK!

I appreciated the warnings about particularly upsetting medical procedures so that you can skip if you’d like. This was a quick and enjoyable read given that it’s a slim book!

I have Kay’s first book, This is going to Hurt, so I’m excited to get a more In depth look at his work experiences and learn more about healthcare in the UK.

Honestly I forgot how much I enjoyed Adam Kay’s sense of humour. While not as emotional as the first book, it’s to be expected since this is essentially a novella.

Despite being a short read, this is a lovely snippet that contains heartache and laughter. Its short and sweet, for a better more fleshed out time read This Is Going To Hurt.
