What a great book this was: equal parts emotional and funny, and incredibly eye-opening.
I was surprised by how much specific medical terminology was included (which really wasn't that much overall), and while it took me a little bit of time to get used to the flow of the diary entry being broken up by explanatory footnotes, I came to appreciate the extra detail.
I already respected and appreciated our NHS workers, but This Is Going to Hurt just takes that to another level. I feel like it's a must-read for everyone in the UK.
But it's not for the squeamish though! 😅
