This is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay
dark
informative
reflective
medium-paced
Watched the drama series adaptation last year and wanted to read the original material. Very informative on obgyn procedures and complications, the gruelling schedule of NHS junior doctors, and the government's callous campaign against said doctors. However, the unwarranted misogyny and fatphobia (among the MANY other disparaging remarks) was really off-putting and just unnecessarily cruel especially since these women were going through some of the most challenging and painful experiences of their lives.
Graphic: Child death, Fatphobia, Miscarriage, Misogyny, Sexual content, Suicide, and Blood
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Drug use
