Welcome to 97-hour weeks. Welcome to life and death decisions. Welcome to a constant tsunami of bodily fluids. Welcome to earning less than the hospital parking meter. Wave goodbye to your friends and relationships ...

Welcome to the life of a junior doctor.

Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights and missed weekends, comedian and former junior doctor 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 by turns, this is everything you wanted to know - and more than a few things you didn't - about life on and off the hospital ward. And yes, it may leave a scar.

Reviews for This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor

'Kay intersperses horror stories from the NHS front line with blissfully brilliant wordplay.' -- The Daily Mail 'Painfully funny. The pain and the funniness somehow add up to something entirely good, entirely noble and entirely loveable.' -- Stephen Fry 'I'd prescribe this book to anyone and everyone. It's laugh-out-loud funny, heartbreakingly sad and gives you the lowdown on what it's like to be holding it together while serving on the front line of our beloved but beleaguered NHS. It's wonderful.' -- Jonathan Ross
