Review of 'This Is Going to Hurt' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I give these sorts of books 3 stars usually, 4 if they're especially good. But this one actually made me laugh out loud in spots, whilst having a very potent and on-key message. It's just the beginning of 2018, and the NHS is in the worst shape of my life. So reading this was profoundly moving in a way it perhaps might not have been. I have a great deal of respect for the NHS, and if everything in this book is true, for Adam as well, for persevering and making such a difference for a goodly number of years to many hundreds of lives.
