This is going to hurt : secret diaries of a junior doctor
As soon as Adam Kay set foot on a hospital ward for the first time, he realized there's quite a lot they don't teach you at medical school... His diaries from the NHS front line -- scribbled in secret after long nights, endless days and missed weekends -- are hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking by turns. This Is Going to Hurt is everything you wanted to know about being a junior doctor, and more than a few things you really didn't. And yes, it may leave a scar.
