This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor by Adam Kay
dark
funny
4.0
The casual joking fatphobia in the book was disturbing especially coming from a doctor. Exactly the kind of attitude which results in worse care & outcomes for fat people when they need medical attention.
Overall I did enjoy the book though, and felt it did a good job communicating issues doctors in his position were facing. Curious to know how much (or little) has changed since its publication in 2017.
