![]() ![]() In 2003 I was just turning 19, younger than nearly all of the students, I could imagine Adam Kay being one of the medical students I worked with every day. I was reading it this section with a sense of nostalgia as at the time I was a Library Assistant in the medical school of a well known London hospital. I enjoyed reading his journey into medicine and his experiences in qualifying as a doctor in the early 2000’s. I would stop short at saying it was laugh-out-loud - but I was reading it in a public place, so it’s hard to tell. It started off well, Adam Kay’s writing style is fairly entertaining, there were definitely some ‘inward-chuckle’ moments. For all of these reasons I borrowed it from my local library and began to read it on my commute. I enjoyed reading the workplace expose books like Hotel Babylon written by Imogen Edward-Jones. ![]() Many of my friends had also recommended it to me as a very funny insight into the life of a junior doctor. Grab a cup of tea, as this is a looooong readĪdam Kay’s This is going to hurt had been on my reading list for a very long time, I had seen dozens of people reading it on public transport, generally the sign of a good book. ![]()
