Adam Kay writes comic medical memoir and nonfiction about the working conditions, absurdities and emotional strain of healthcare. This Is Going to Hurt uses diary entries from his years as a junior doctor in the NHS, moving between exhausting shifts, black humour, difficult patients and the personal cost of medical training. Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas revisits hospital life through festive shifts, while Undoctored follows what happened after he left medicine. Kay also writes children’s nonfiction about the body and medicine in an irreverent style. This Is Going to Hurt is the central Kay book for adult readers, while his children’s nonfiction uses the same irreverence to make anatomy and medicine approachable without reproducing the hospital memoir format.
