Synopsis

A darkly comic and brutally honest account of life on the frontlines of Britain's National Health Service, drawn from the secret diaries of a young obstetrician. Adam Kay chronicles the exhausting, hilarious, and heartbreaking realities of working 97-hour weeks while navigating the absurdities of hospital bureaucracy and the profound moments of human vulnerability. Both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply moving, this memoir exposes the sacrifices healthcare workers make and the system that pushes them to breaking point.
