Now a major BAFTA-nominated BBC comedy-drama starring Emmy- and BAFTA-winning Ben Whishaw, This Is Going to Hurt is the multi-million-copy bestseller with an exclusive author preface. Adam Kay takes readers behind the scenes of life as a junior doctor: 97-hour weeks, life-and-death decisions, endless bodily fluids, and a hospital parking meter that earns more than you. Written in secret after sleepless nights and missed weekends, Kay’s diary is hilarious, horrifying, and heartbreaking—a no-holds-barred account of the NHS frontline. Winner of four National Book Awards, a Sunday Times bestseller for over a year, and adapted into an acclaimed BBC series, it’s painfully funny, painfully real, and utterly unforgettable.
