Book cover for This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor

Ex-doctor's flippant and fairly crude diary of what it's like working for the NHS. It takes a depressing turn in in the last 5 pages as he explains how he left the job after the (unavoidable) death of a patient.

I understand he's probably used humour to deal with what is a very shitty job, but I wasn't really vibing with it.
