Wow!
I understood that this was going to hurt, but I still wasn't expecting it to be that painfully funny. The fantastic work of the author Adam Kay makes it both hilarious and harrowing. I was so into his story that I devoured it in just two sittings. I felt the importance of reading this book since I want to study medicine myself. The heart-rending end, which showed the emotional side of Adam Kay and revealed the real reason behind him leaving medicine, would make even the toughest and the most cold-blooded person bawling their eyes out. I reckon that every doctor, nurse, and simply every person interested in the field of medicine should try this book out.
