If any of you have children who want to read medicine, are already at medical school or who are embarking on the career ladder as a’junior doctor’ ( they will still be junior doctors age 38) then this book is a ‘must read’
Even if you are in none of these categories it is a good read for those on here who perpetually moan about their/their relatives bad NHS experiences.
You will laugh out loud, you will cry and if like me you followed exactly the same path nearly 50 years ago (except that I don’t remember calling my speciality of Obstetrics & Gynaecology ‘brats and twats’). you will nod knowingly.
Without meaning to introduce a spoiler you will say ’what a f*cking waste.’
It’s entitled ‘This is going to hurt’ by. Dr Adam Kay pub. Picador ISBN 978-1-5098-5863-7
Available in paperback on Amazon.
Absolutely no connection with the author except to say I was horrified and ashamed that little has changed for junior doctors since the 1970s: In fact things seem a bloody sight worse.
