This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor Review: Equal Parts Comedy and Tragedy - I purchased this book as a juxtaposition to a very "deep" book illustrating a need to balance storylines and not get too high or low, but to have options to redirect my focus. Well, I had no idea this comedic writing would be so deeply moving and sad, and at times, simply tragic. I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Kay's depiction of the daily grind, the unparalleled sacrifices made to a healthcare provider's personal life, and the perceived glamor of it all. It is often that those who don't experience it firsthand have a skewed view of the reality, and after reading this book, it feels as if I should go apologize and thank many healthcare personnel. I am very sorry that it ended this way for him but also thankful he's found an outlet to embrace the experience and educate the public. It is a very good book that's easy to read and difficult to put aside! Review: WORTH READING - I enjoyed reading this recounting of what it’s like to be a Dr. I knew it was hard, but this book opened my eyes to a lot of things I never imagined. I loved the humor and sarcasm used since it so closely matches my own. Some of the stories were shocking in revealing what strange or awful things people will do to themselves. Be prepared for some off the wall, yet totally believable stories about patients. Several are pretty gross though fascinating nonetheless. The author was easy to relate to even though I gave no medical background whatsoever. The prose is well written in an every man’s voice. At least we see that America has no solitary ownership of mistreating the doctors that we depend on for our very lives. Sad state of affairs there. I do recommend the book though you might need a strong stomach to read several all too descriptive passages. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #767,339 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Medical Professional Biographies #495 in Medical Education & Training (Books) #696 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 106,771 Reviews | ## Images ![This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+DF+-yMqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Equal Parts Comedy and Tragedy *by B***N on June 24, 2025* I purchased this book as a juxtaposition to a very "deep" book illustrating a need to balance storylines and not get too high or low, but to have options to redirect my focus.

One caveat, though, regarding the Kindle version: The book has dozens and dozens of footnotes, most explaining or further explaining medical terms and often adding importantly details to the story. But in the kindle version, they all are at the back of the book, making it somewhere between awkward and impossible to read them as you go along. Each footnote, no matter its length, takes up a whole page. That means that the actual book ended at 88 %, making it more than abrupt for anyone used to books going until around 98 or 99 %. I read some of the footnotes, but they were no longer attachable to the reference in the body of the book. So this does subtract from the enjoyment of this otherwise entertaining book. I didn't want to subtract a star based on this structural problem. ## Frequently Bought Together - This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor - Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death, and Brain Surgery - When Breath Becomes Air --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/130718200-this-is-going-to-hurt-secret-diaries-of-a-junior](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/130718200-this-is-going-to-hurt-secret-diaries-of-a-junior) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
