Yes.

Have you read it?

Yeah, it's a diary of a junior doctor going through his junior doctor role and then on to senior house officer, then on to trying to be a consultant.

In obstetrics and gynecology.

And it is a diary of his workload and how the NHS were basically expecting doctors to work, you know, 100 hour weeks with very little backup.

But it's really funny.

Yeah.

It's very straight and to the point and you can really see what doctors and all healthcare professionals go through in terms of that work burden and the load.

But he tells so many funny stories.

I will never forget.

I read it on a plane.

I can't remember where we were going, but I was reading it and I got to the part where, you know the part of the degloved penis?

Oh, I don't know.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Yeah, yeah.

But the way Adam Kay describes it, like I had tears rolling down my cheeks on the play and people were looking at me.

I was howling with laughter, even though it's the most awful thing that could possibly happen.

It was just the way he described it and the way he describes various different things that go on in obstetrics and gynecology in general, like people presenting with various things stuck in various orifices and saying, I fell on this Christmas bauble, you know.

But I have friends in emergency departments in Ireland.
