This Is Going To Hurt; Secret Diaries Of A Junior Doctor
Category: Adult Non- Fiction
A bit of background on Adam Kay: he was a junior doctor from 2004-2010 before a life changing experience saw him leave medicine all together. During his medial training he kept a diary, deciding to publish much of its content partly in response to the recent strikes by junior doctors and the negative attention this received from a proportion of the British public & Government.
This is truly an unforgettable read for many reasons. Positive or negative, reading this book will give you an insight into our NHS that, certainly for me, shook me to my core. After reading this I felt quite similar as to how I felt after reading ‘The Secret Barrister; Stories Of The Law And How It’s Broken’ by The Secret Barrister; how can this be true? How is it possible that this is happening right here, right now?
This book is not for the faint hearted. It is not a watered down version of his diary, it is his diary so as much as I would recommend this book, be prepared for the good, the bad and the ugly. I loved it.
