Daily ExpressÂ
97-hour weeks. Life and death decisions. A constant tsunami of bodily fluids. And the hospital parking meter earns more than you. Welcome to the life of a junior doctor. Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights and missed weekends, Adam Kay's diaries provide a no-holds-barred account of his time as a medic on the front line.Â
Hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking, this is everything you wanted to know — and more than a few things you didn't — about life on and off the hospital ward.Â
