i just finished reading this and i am shook .I cant believe that we are in the 21st century yet people have to go through such torture constantly. i cant believe there is nothing we can do. i have a sister who's gonna become a doctor because of parental pressure, I have a friend. i cant believe that this is how the most important profession is treated..this is how we treat the people we put our lives in the hand of. The title was true, this is going to hurt and it should hurt for this hurt is nothing faced with what these people go through.I am grateful to this book for bringing me awareness about this topic and helping me make some major decisions of my own life.

A great view into the NHS from a man who has experienced it first hand. Don’t recommend if pregnant.

Adam Kay will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. He had me questioning people’s thought processes multiple times with his experiences. If you are able to read the extra diary entries that didn’t make it into the book I advise it. Just hold on for one hell of a ride with this one.
