Now an important comedy-drama by the BBC nominated for a BAFTA with award-winning actor Ben Whishaw. The much-loved bestseller now with an exclusive preface by the author. Welcome to the life of a young doctor: 97 hours a week, life and death decisions, a constant deluge of bodily fluids, and parking in the hospital earns more than you do.

Written secretly after endless days, sleepless nights, and lost weekends, Adam Kay's 'This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor' provides an honest account of his time face-to-face with the NHS. Joyful, terrifying, and poignant, this diary is everything you wanted to know - and more than a few things you didn't want to know - about life inside and outside the clinic.

“A shield of laughter. The pain and funny dimension add something completely good, completely noble, and completely lovable.” - Stephen Fry
