The multi-million copy bestseller
Book of the Year at The National Book Awards
‘Painfully funny. The pain and the funniness somehow add up to something entirely good, entirely noble and entirely loveable.' - Stephen Fry
Welcome to the life of a junior doctor: 97-hour weeks, life and death decisions, a constant tsunami of bodily fluids, and the hospital parking meter earns more than you.

Hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking, this diary is everything you wanted to know – and more than a few things you didn't – about life on and off the hospital ward.

A fantastic listen, laugh out loud type of book
loved this book. I never realised Doctors were treated so badly, shame on the system. To loose good doctors like this, who make you smile, and know they care is sad. I recommend everyone to read /listen to this. its so well written and spoken. cant wait for book 2 ??

Enjoyed this immensely
As someone who works in health care administration, I found this book relatable and interesting. The humour was wonderful but it was poignant and engaging. Great story telling that explains so much about what is wrong with our health care systems.

I’ve never laughed so hard!
I absolutely love that this was narrated by the author, he did such a brilliant job. The stories were absolutely fascinating and while some with funny it was most definitely in the delivery. I have never laughed so hard at a book. There is only one other book I ever remember laughing out loud this much at! I highly recommend it.
