This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Young Doctor

This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Young Doctor by Adam Kay

The author worked as an ob/gyn in the British National Health Service. He had plenty of experiences as a young doctor. Detailed birth plans were often thrown out the window when the fetus had other ideas. Hours could be very long, with limited sleep or any time outside of work. Standards and work regulation could seem very arbitrary. Bodily fluids could be all over the place, with risk of HIV possible. Even the British medical system is far from perfect.
