This is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay

BATB score: 7/10 🫶

re-read of BATB’s favorite books: Adam Kay quits becoming a doctor and became a comedian instead 💯 this book is his diary entries

Best to: would love to read about the thought process of leaving at the final year of doctor residency, one’s mental talk, stakeholders / family expectation management, and how does one come back and make sense of it all

Best as: any career is tough when you put your heart into it 🥹

Best for: anyone who wants to be a doctor or wonders what it’s like to work at NHS

BATB lingering thought: ouu I am so happy for Adam Kay, ‘Best Author’ BAFTA and this book became a tv series! 👏 destiny 😇

Best quotes: “but unfortunately the depth of the lows is the price you pay for the height of your highs”

“You work yourself to exhaustion, pushing yourself beyond what could be reasonably expected of you, and end up feeling constantly like you don’t know what you are doing.”
