First published in 2017, “This is Going to Hurt” is a collection of diary entries made by author Adam Kay during his time spent as a junior doctor in the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom (UK). Kay, an England native, shares his residency and attending experiences. The narrative begins with a look into his life before starting his medical training; his dark, humorous and inappropriate stories contrast with a heartbreaking story shared at the end of the book that ultimately caused Kay to leave the profession.
