Weirdly made me feel better about my career choices.
I listened to this book during a particularly difficult time in my life where I was struggling with my job. The struggle was that I just could not get myself to work anymore - because, well, I didn't want to. I listened to the book everytime I sat down to work, and it somehow made my work a lot more enjoyable, rather than something i despise. It also made me realise how trivial most problems are in life when you compare them to the pressures of being a doctor. Thank you for sharing, Mr. Kay.

Funny and Insightful
Adam Kay’s writing is hilarious from the start. And it helps that his is the voice narrating this cuz his aware ness of the context and the nuances helps.
It’s a poignant story which is very informative and full off quirks of the medical profession and the NHS.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Felt every word of his writing.
Must know about the life of doctors and how being a doc is a challenge to their very own life. Amazing write up. Not just the situation in NHS, it happens the same way in India too.

very relatable and much needed book
as a doctor I could relate to the author . been through some of the same predicaments . it's true about how much it affects the mental well being of a doctor. if we need good doctors we need to know their side of the story and make sure an optimal situation where everyone is more or less equally benefitted ... funny to listen though ..

Amazing naration
Loved it! It made me laugh and cry and then laugh again. Almost as much as there were diary entries, were there moments where I wondered how amazing his ways are to narate a story and also that HOW DOES HE DO IT?

The title is statical , but through great light
My farther is doctor for the government India. The story of ADAM KAY provide great details of life of young doctor. Some of these event can have very depressing affect on you. Events such as people eagerly waiting for new baby and all you hear a news that baby died during complication. No one is prepared for such events but doctor have to bear this pain throughout this life.
Great Re-count of the events by Dr. Adam kay.
