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

5.0
An important book that manages to highlight the situation the NHS are in (which has only grown worse since publication) and talk about the real struggles and challenges of being a junior doctor in a funny yet informative way. With witty remarks and pithy comments throughout, Adam Kay's writing makes it easy to read through such a serious book in one sitting.
To anyone who uses, has used, or knows of the NHS service, I would recommend reading this book.
P.S. Grab a little thank you card or gift for your care team after your next hospital stay; goodness knows the government won't thank them
