Classic Adam Kay, I will read anything he writes. I used to think the only appeals of his books were pre-med students that were trying to get into medical school with a cool personal statement, however I have been proved wrong (twice now). Genuinely interesting, despite me already being in med school!

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.

i didn’t find this book flowed as quickly as ‘this is going to hurt’, but it was equally as heartbreaking, funny and informative. This festive sequel again makes me feel so appreciative of the things and people i have around me, and make me feel incredibly proud of those i know who are on the front line of our country and sacrifice themselves for our wellbeing! Kay’s writing is truly beautiful!

After reading Kay’s first book and watching the spin off series I was really excited to read this and it didn’t disappoint. He is a great anecdote teller- manages to make you laugh out loud but also tell the tales of some really tough stuff and do it justice. A very wholesome read, and made me even more grateful than normal for all the folks working their arses off in the NHS.
