Welcome to the life of a junior doctor: 97-hour weeks, life and death decisions, a constant tsunami of bodily fluids, and the hospital parking meter earns more than you.

Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights and missed weekends, Adam Kay's This is Going to Hurt provides a no-holds-barred account of his time on the NHS front line. Hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking, this diary is everything you wanted to know – and more than a few things you didn't – about life on and off the hospital ward.

Loved this. Anyone who uses a health service should read it. Anyone who thinks universal health care should be defunded should be FORCED to read it.

I don’t necessarily recommend the audiobook though. The first couple of words at the beginning of most chapters were missing due to a delay in the recording.

Edited to say that my Bluetooth speaker is at fault, not the audiobook recording. There are no missing words.
