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.

Ted Chiang is a superstar.’ –The GuardianWithStories of Your Life and Others, his masterful debut collection, multiple-award-winning author Ted Chiang deftly blends human emotion and scientific rationalism in eight remarkably varied stories.The title novella 'Story of Your Life' was the basis for the Academy Award-winning filmArrival, starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner.From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth to the firmament above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part of everyday life; from a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of time and reality, Chiang’s unique imagination invites us to question our understanding of the universe and our place in it.‘United by a humane intell
