Welcome to 97-hour weeks. Welcome to life and death decisions. Welcome to a constant tsunami of bodily fluids. Welcome to earning less than the hospital parking meter. Wave goodbye to your friends and relationships. Welcome to the life of a first-year doctor. Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights, and missed weekends, comedian and former medical resident Adam Kay’s This Is Going to Hurt provides a no-holds-barred account of his time on the front lines of medicine and a candid look at real hospital life. Hilarious, horrifying, and heartbreaking by turns, this is everything you wanted to know—and more than a few things you didn’t—about life on and off the hospital ward. And yes, it may leave a scar. Doctor Diaries: Based on secret diaries scribbled after 97-hour weeks, this true story is a no-holds-barred account of what it’s really like to be a doctor. Medical Humor: Find out why you earn less than the hospital parking meter, what it feels like to be covered in a tsunami of bodily fluids, and how a comedian’s wit is the only way to survive. Heartbreaking and Hilarious: One minute you’ll be howling with laughter, the next you’ll be wiping away a tear. This book is a rollercoaster of hilarious, horrifying, and heartbreaking moments on the NHS front lines. British Humor: Perfect for fans of brutally honest and darkly funny nonfiction, this bestselling memoir reveals everything you wanted to know―and a few things you didn’t―about life as a doctor in the UK. Review: Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always interesting - I really enjoyed this book. What this man went through as an English doctor is not only interesting, but occasionally quite funny. Review: WORTH READING - I enjoyed reading this recounting of what it’s like to be a Dr. I knew it was hard, but this book opened my eyes to a lot of things I never imagined. I loved the humor and sarcasm used since it so closely matches my own. Some of the stories were shocking in revealing what strange or awful things people will do to themselves. Be prepared for some off the wall, yet totally believable stories about patients. Several are pretty gross though fascinating nonetheless. The author was easy to relate to even though I gave no medical background whatsoever. The prose is well written in an every man’s voice. At least we see that America has no solitary ownership of mistreating the doctors that we depend on for our very lives. Sad state of affairs there. I do recommend the book though you might need a strong stomach to read several all too descriptive passages. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #16,264 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Medical Professional Biographies #190 in Women's Biographies #481 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 107,067 Reviews | ## Images ![This Is Going to Hurt [TV Tie-in]: Secret Diaries of a Young Doctor – A Brutally Honest Medical Memoir Packed with Dark Humor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Ia+r1f+yL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always interesting *by J***I on April 8, 2026* I really enjoyed this book.

I do recommend the book though you might need a strong stomach to read several all too descriptive passages. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Equal Parts Comedy and Tragedy *by B***N on June 24, 2025* I purchased this book as a juxtaposition to a very "deep" book illustrating a need to balance storylines and not get too high or low, but to have options to redirect my focus. Well, I had no idea this comedic writing would be so deeply moving and sad, and at times, simply tragic. I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Kay's depiction of the daily grind, the unparalleled sacrifices made to a healthcare provider's personal life, and the perceived glamor of it all. It is often that those who don't experience it firsthand have a skewed view of the reality, and after reading this book, it feels as if I should go apologize and thank many healthcare personnel. I am very sorry that it ended this way for him but also thankful he's found an outlet to embrace the experience and educate the public. It is a very good book that's easy to read and difficult to put aside! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/336081421-this-is-going-to-hurt-tv-tie-in-secret-diaries](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/336081421-this-is-going-to-hurt-tv-tie-in-secret-diaries) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
