If you ever wonder what it's like being a doctor at a publicly funded hospital during the Christmas season then this book is for you.

Adam continues from his first book ([b:This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor|35510008|This is Going to Hurt Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor|Adam Kay|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1498340278l/35510008.SY75.jpg|56583337]) by adding more details but also referring things that were explained in his previous book (most of the time he briefly recaps it but then multiple times during the footnotes he says to re-read his first book). So it would be good to read his first book then read this book and don't wait too long otherwise you may forget things.

If you don't read the footnotes then sometimes things won't make sense so as Adam says in the book READ THE FOOTNOTES.

The book does have tons of British references so if you aren't from that area then you may take to Google certain things (I know I had to Google probably a dozen things) in order for them to make sense.

It is a short enough book that it can be finished in a couple of days (or probably one complete reading if you want) which is nice but it doesn't skim on details or just over anything.

Overall, a good book that I wish was longer and had references that everyone could understand.
