Peel me a Book
Adam Kay
"If laughter is the best medicine, then medicine sometimes desperately needs laughter.”
This Is Going to Hurt
This is Going to Hurt
Peel the Author
Adam Kay is a former junior doctor in the UK who left medicine after years in the NHS and turned his experiences into comedy. His breakout memoir, This Is Going to Hurt, mixes diary entries with gallows humour — turning hospital corridors into punchlines without losing sight of the human cost.
Kay writes with wit, fury, and compassion: making readers laugh at things they probably shouldn’t, then blindsiding them with heartbreak.
Voice
“Welcome to the NHS: the most brilliant, terrifying, ridiculous workplace on earth.”
Kay’s voice blends stand-up timing with clinical detail. He punctures the mystique of medicine, showing the absurdities of long shifts, bureaucracy, and patient encounters, but always with a heartbeat of empathy underneath.
