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 junior doctor. Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights and missed weekends, comedian and former junior doctor Adam Kay’s This Is Going to Hurt provides a no-holds-barred account of his time on the NHS front line (with a foreword attempting to explain the National Health Service to a non-UK audience). 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.
Adam Kay is an award-winning comedian and writer for TV and film, including Mitchell & Webb and Very British Problems. He previously worked for many years as a junior doctor.

听着作者念的有声书,连滚带爬把英文版过了一遍,专业名词实在不会,能看得懂的地方和笑话确实好笑(废话)……

Some jokes are funny but I didn't see the point of publishing this book.

听的有声书,的确打了不少折扣。以为会是比较严肃的一个医生讲述医疗体制的书,没有想到是一篇篇小日记,当然折射了很多医疗体制的现象。有机会还是应该阅读原书。

I am very shocked at the title of the Chinese version of this book... It's way too frivolous.
