Between 3−4 stars rating, 01 June 2023Book Review "This Is Going to Hurt"
By: Tamara Ey Firsty
For a book that culminates in someone being so wearied/burned out/spent (or, to put it more concisely, effed up) they quit a career altogether, it sure is hysterically hilarious, thoroughly enjoyable, and, though quite emotional, remains warming and sensible. Essentially this is an edited diary of a junior doctor from house officer until senior registrar. The entrances delivery range from deadpan to vivacious - but it just hits right everytime. An engaging read which fully deserves all the awards it has won and more. Bonus point for replacing real people’s names with that of Harry Potter’s character: I spotted Seamus, Binns, Colin, Ron, Lily, Ernie, Flitwick, Fletcher, Hannah, Luna, Fred.. PS it has the best dedication page
