    This is going to hurt

    Book by Adam Kay about his experience as a junior doctor (from House Officer to Senior Registrar) in the NHS.

    Thoroughly recommend it. If you're an emotional sort, don't read it in public...
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          He was on R4 a couple of weeks back, he's a stand up comedian these days. Was a funny interview.

            I thought this was going to be about your opening line to MrsNAT last night.

              Read the book

              He's currently on tour as well which I think is about the book rather than the AmTran music.

                Also read it.

                I suspect exaggerated for comic effect, and one or two quips went beyond tasteless, but yes, does give a shocking account of the life of a junior doctor. My niece, a lovely, bright, sensitive girl is studying medicine. When I read the book I wanted to cry for her.

                  I'm sure of it.

                  My niece qualified a couple of years ago. I must ask her how she is.
