Quick Reads This Is Going To Hurt: An easy to read version of the bestselling book | Adam Kay
5 posts | 10 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
This is not a new book but a specially adapted version of Adam Kay's bestseller This is Going to Hurt for Quick Reads. These short books are perfect for adults who are discovering reading for pleasure for the first time. Welcome to the life of a junior doctor. You work 97 hours a week. You make life and death decisions. You are often covered in blood (or worse) from head to toe. And the hospital parking meter earns more money than you do. Adam Kay's diary was written in secret after long days, sleepless nights and missed weekends. It is funny, moving and sometimes shocking. This is everything you wanted to know and more than a few things you didn't about life on and off the hospital ward. Specially rewritten for ease of reading by Francesca Main.

The ‘painfully funny‘ quote on the front of the book sums it up. Both hilarious and heartbreaking. I would encourage you to give this insightful book a read, even if it‘s not your go to style.

Santie Hello Gemma! Welcome to Litsy. I hope you enjoy your stay 🌸. Everyone is nice here, LITERALLY EVERYONE. I‘ve read this book, I was reluctant to buy it at first but when I finally did, I was not disappointed. I love how easy the writing is, flows very smoothly. It was painfully funny, yeah 😅 3y

A fabulous book. It gives a true, realistic view of the day to day lives of doctors, talking about both the highs and lows of the job. Very funny and a pleasure to read. Nicely written and well explained when “foreign” terminology is used. 100% recommend

9/10 A comedy, supporting powerful moral. Funny throughout although some diary entries made me actually gag. It‘s an easy, fun read that makes me appreciate the NHS that little bit more. The fact it is funny on most entries gives so much more impact to the few serious entries peppered within. I‘ll make a mental note to thank the staff next time I find myself stuck in hospital, that‘s for sure. So good, I‘m moving straight on to AKs follow up.
