Synopsis

Now an AMC+ series starring Ben Whishaw

The acclaimed multimillion-copy bestseller, This Is Going to Hurt is Adam Kay’s equally "blisteringly funny" (Boston Globe) and "heartbreaking" (New Yorker) medical memoir, based on the secret diaries of his years as a junior doctor.

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 and a candid look at real hospital life.

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.

• Doctor Diaries: Based on secret diaries scribbled after 97-hour weeks, this true story is a no-holds-barred account of what it’s really like to be a doctor.
• Medical Humor: Find out why you earn less than the hospital parking meter, what it feels like to be covered in a tsunami of bodily fluids, and how a comedian’s wit is the only way to survive.
• Heartbreaking and Hilarious: One minute you’ll be howling with laughter, the next you’ll be wiping away a tear. This book is a rollercoaster of hilarious, horrifying, and heartbreaking moments on the NHS front lines.
• British Humor: Perfect for fans of brutally honest and darkly funny nonfiction, this bestselling memoir reveals everything you wanted to know―and a few things you didn’t―about life as a doctor in the UK.
