Welcome to a world of 97-hour workweeks, life-saving decisions, and a constant tsunami of bodily fluids. Say goodbye to loved ones; soon you will become a junior doctor! This book by comedian and former doctor Adam Kay, secretly written after endless shifts, sleepless nights, and overworked weekends, is a candid account of his struggles on the front lines of the British healthcare system. Through funny, terrifying, and poignant entries, you will learn everything you wanted to know (and perhaps didn’t want to know) about life as a doctor on the ward and beyond. It is an incredibly funny and heartbreakingly sad tale that will make you laugh, cry, and laugh again. If you plan to read one book this year, make it this one. It is clinically hilarious and so important that it should be prescribed. Kay's humor is as sharp as a scalpel, and his insights are bitter. He simultaneously entertains and tugs at the heartstrings. While reading these entries, I found myself laughing as often as I was crying. Adam has crafted a brilliant narrative, and this is truly a sparkling book.
