This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Medical Resident by Adam Kay

5.0

Adam Kay pulls back the hospital curtain in this candid nonfiction about his time as a doctor in the "across the pond". Being a doctor isn't all it's cracked up to be, and Kay has the stories to prove it. People think it's glamorous and that saving lives is an endorphine high that never ends, but Kay bluntly relays the good and mostly bad about life as a new doctor. His brutal honesty is funny, refreshing, eye-opening, and at times just so sad. Perfect for fans of E.R. and Grey's Anatomy, Adam Kay proves real life is more dramatic than even the best TV dramas.
