About the Book "Originally published in the UK by Picador, 2017"--Title page verso. Book Synopsis In the US edition of this international bestseller, Adam Kay channels Henry Marsh and David Sedaris to tell us the darkly funny (The New Yorker) -- and sometimes horrifying -- truth about life and work in a hospital. 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 first-year doctor. Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights and missed weekends, comedian and former medical resident Adam Kay's This Is Going to Hurt provides a no-holds-barred account of his time on the front lines of medicine. 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. Review Quotes Bloody funny. --Minnie Driver, actress Brilliant. Five stars. Amazing.--Mark Haddon, bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Darkly funny... heartbreaking.--The New Yorker Hilarious and heartbreaking...I howled, yelped, and occasionally choked with laughter...This book may hurt, but in an important and necessary way.--Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Times (London) Painfully funny. The pain and the funniness somehow add up to something entirely good, entirely noble, and entirely lovable.--Stephen Fry, actor, comedian, and author of Mythos This book is heartbreaking, hilarious and truly important. I believe in its humanity, its spirit and its conscience. The best doctor's visit you will ever have.--Rose McGowan, actress, activist, and New York Times bestselling author of Brave About the Author Adam Kay is an award-winning comedian and writer for TV and film. He previously worked for many years as a junior doctor. His first book, This is Going to Hurt was an instant Sunday Times #1 bestseller and has sold 1.5 million copies worldwide.
