This book will hurt you

Welcome to the life of an intern doctor: 97 hours of work weekly, decisions that separate life from death, an ongoing tsunami of human fluids, and in the end, you discover that the hospital parking attendant earns more than you per hour. Adam Kay worked as a doctor from 2004 to 2010, before a terrible incident in the hospital led him to rethink his future. Adam wrote his diaries throughout his training in the hospital, which later became one of the best-selling books. This book offers detailed scenes from the life of an intern doctor, with his joys, pains, sacrifices, and ongoing struggles with bureaucracy, and it delivers a love message to the doctors who constantly work to save our lives in hospitals. Diaries written secretly during long days, sleepless nights, and weekends with no rest, Adam Kay in this book tells the story of his work as a doctor on the front lines of the UK's National Health Service. It is a humorous, frightening, and heart-wrenching book; in these diaries, you will find everything you wanted to know – and more – about life in hospital wards.
