  Review

  I’d prescribe this book to anyone and everyone. It's laugh-out-loud funny, heartbreakingly sad and gives you the lowdown on what it’s like to be holding it together while serving on the front line of our beloved but beleaguered NHS. It’s wonderful -- Jonathan Ross
  
  So clinically funny and politically important for supporters of the NHS that it should be given out on prescription ― Guardian
  
  Painfully funny. The pain and the funniness somehow add up to something entirely good, entirely noble and entirely loveable. -- Stephen Fry
  
  Finally a true picture of the harrowing, hilarious and ultimately chaotic life of the junior doctor in all its gory glory, dark comedy and unavoidable sadness. A blisteringly funny account shot through with harrowing detail, many pertinent truths and the humanity we all hope doctors conceal behind their unflappable exteriors -- Jo Brand
  
  As hilarious as it is heartbreaking – and it IS heartbreaking (also hilarious) -- Charlie Brooker
  
  Blisteringly funny, politically enraging and often heartbreaking . . . hilarious . . . brimming not just with humour but with humanity . . . This should be a wake-up call to all who value the NHS -- Hannah Beckerman ― Sunday Express
  
  A funny, excoriatingly revealing, beautiful book -- Dawn French
  
  Horrifyingly hilarious and hilariously horrifying -- Danny Wallace
  
  A ferociously funny book -- Mark Watson
  
  Superb -- Pam Ayres
  
  As a hypochondriac I was worried about reading Adam Kay’s book. Luckily it’s incredibly funny – so funny, in fact, that it gave me a hernia from laughing -- Joe Lycett
  
  By turns witty, gruesome, alarming, and touching. Always illuminating and searingly honest -- Jonathan Dimbleby
  
  Brilliant -- Mark Haddon
