På nätterna får man som AT-läkare ansvaret för samtliga patienter på sjukhuset. Man styr skutan på egen hand. En skuta som är helt enorm, och står i lågor, och som man inte fått några egentliga instruktioner om hur man seglar.
När Adam Kay som nybakad läkare tillträder sin AT-tjänst i London börjar ett minst sagt utmanade yrkesliv. 97-timmarsveckor, beslut på liv och död, en ständig ström av kroppsvätskor och sämre betalt än parkeringsmätaren utanför sjukhuset. Det här kommer att göra ont består av hans dagboksanteckningar, hisnande bakom-kulisserna-vittnesmål som får läsare att ömsom skratta, ömsom gråta. Här finns hysteriskt roliga reflektioner, märkliga patientfall, hjärtskärande öden och oroväckande många främmande föremål på fel ställen.
Boken är också ett nödrop inifrån ett krisande sjukvårdssystem, och en gripande skildring av ett läkarliv som en dag blir för mycket.
Adam Kay är en brittisk före detta läkare. Han är i dag verksam som stå-upp-komiker och författare.
"Smärtsamt rolig" Stephen Fry
"Fantastiskt rolig och hjärtekrossande... jag tjöt av skratt, flämtade och kvävdes då och då av skratt... den här boken kanske gör ont, men på ett viktigt och nödvändigt sätt." Times
"Om du är det minsta känslig så rekommenderar jag att du läser den här boken liggande platt på rygg. Mer än en gång på min pendling, när jag rusade igenom Adam Kays otroligt roliga, hjärtekrossande bok, kände jag att knäna började vika sig... vissa inlägg är så roliga att man skrattar alldeles för högt." Daily Telegraph
