《The Island of the Colour-blind》記錄了薩克斯前往太平洋島嶼的旅程，他探訪平加拉普島上遺傳性色盲的族群，並走訪關島，研究當地流傳百年的奇異癱瘓症。從島嶼植物到人類疾病，他以溫和又富觀察力的文字，引領讀者思考演化、環境與人類身體間微妙的聯繫。'Sacks is rightly renowned for his empathy . . . anyone with a taste for the exotic will find this beautifully written book highly engaging' – Sunday TimesAlways fascinated by islands, Oliver Sacks is drawn to the Pacific by reports of the tiny atoll of Pingelap, with its isolated community of islanders born totally colour-blind; and to Guam, where he investigates a puzzling paralysis endemic there for a century. Along the way, he re-encounters the beautiful, primitive island cycad trees – and these become the starting point for a meditation on time and evolution, disease and adaptation, and islands both real and metaphorical in The Island of the Colour-Blind.

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.
