這本書是作者Adam Kay 的親身經歷,記錄了他在英國國家醫療服務體系 (NHS) 擔任婦產科住院醫師時的日記 。他以一種極其幽默、尖銳且時而令人心碎的方式,揭露了醫生這個職業不為人知的一面 。書中充滿了各種令人捧腹大笑的荒謬日常,例如:處理病人塞進體內的各種奇葩物品、應對高壓高工時下扭曲的心態(像是聽到病人威脅要打斷他的腿時,第一個念頭竟是「太好了可以休假了」) 。然而,在這些爆笑故事的背後,卻是血淋淋的現實:每週工作97小時、薪資微薄、永無止盡的瘋狂白晝與睡眠不足的夜晚,以及那些永遠失蹤的週末假期 。這本書不僅僅是一本搞笑的醫生日記,它更深刻地揭示了醫療體系前線人員所面臨的巨大壓力、官僚體制的荒謬,以及那些在生死一線間的驚恐與心碎時刻 。書名《This is Going to Hurt》不僅是醫生對病人說的話,也像是作者對讀者打的一劑預防針——在爆笑之後,隨之而來的是對醫療人員處境的深刻反思與不捨 。Read by the author, Adam Kay.The multi-million copy bestsellerBook of the Year at The National Book Awards‘Painfully funny.
