Emotional BBC drama This Is Going To Hurt has tugged at the heartstrings of viewers as they watch junior doctor Adam Kay work excruciating 97-hour-long weeks.
Although it may seem like the stuff of fiction, the drama is all painfully real, as it is based on the memoir written by the real Adam Kay, of the same title, reports The Mirror. After publication in 2017, Adam's memoir became an award-winning bestseller, and was translated into 20 languages.
Taking readers on the emotional rollercoaster that is working for the NHS, the memoir shone a light, much like the screen adaptation is currently doing, on the shockingly long hours and literal life or death decisions those in the medical sector have to make while being sleep deprived.
