This is Going to Hurt: Now a major BBC comedy-drama

This book was amazing. It was the first book I’ve ever read and completely finished. I finished it in only 4 days!! This is a great book if you are into the medical field of obstetrics and gynecology.

Excellent book.

Ahead of time delivery. Well wrapped and packed.

Loved it!! It’s so funny, but I wouldn’t consider it my favorite.

Author knows exactly how to describe raw and nasty situations as well as frustrations that are true in this profession. He has a way of making you feel like you are experiencing what he’s experiencing. Fantastic easy read. Disappointed to reach the end. Wanted more stories so I’ve bought his next book. No one in their right mind goes into medicine or stays in it lol.

Como também médica recém-formada, muitas frases lidas até a então metade do livro parecem tiradas da minha cabeça – risada garantida. Está sendo uma leitura muito prazerosa, ainda mais por ter perdido o costume de leitura não-acadêmica após tantos anos entre pré-vestibular e faculdade.

Amazing light hearted comedy

The blurb and publicity praise the book as an adorably funny satire on the hospital business. Yes, it is funny, it is set in Great Britain, mainly in gynaecology and in the British NHS healthcare system, but it is not (actually) satire. It is an exact description of a doctor's work and, apart from a few deviations (our specialist training does not follow exactly the same pattern), it can be transferred exactly to Germany, to everything that goes wrong, to everything that is a daily burden for all employees in the healthcare system. Even many of the situations that seem very strange or even absurd to outsiders have probably been experienced in the same or a similar way by almost everyone who has worked in a hospital for a few years. I am sure that they happened in exactly the same way and were not invented by the author. In particular - and this is where the book ends - it is an indictment of the complete disregard shown by politicians for the people who work in hospitals or elsewhere on a daily basis. But in the end it doesn't matter. Even our current Minister of Health, Mr Lauterbach, would probably not change anything if he were to devote his precious time to this book at all, and would probably not even feel addressed. In this respect: absolutely worth reading, but also very depressing. Not funny.

I loved this book sm. It gave me so much insight into a medical career path. It can be amusing, tiring and rewarding. Book makes u laugh and cry and question some people. GET IT
