This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor by Adam Kay

emotional funny informative fast-paced

4.0

I'd heard this book recommended for so long but put it off becuase I couldn't imagine anything worse than coming home from the hospital to read a book about the hospital. Now that I'm in grad school mode, I finally checked it out and I get what all the hype is about. I was laughing out loud, to myself, in my room, just about every other page. Adam Kay has a knack for writing jokes about situations with people that make fun of the situation rather than demeaning the person. For the most part, it's positive humor. I will add though that there are a few jokes about body size that were unnecessary and fat-shaming.
