Medical community warn pregnant women over 'dangerous' medical equipment shown on This is Going to Hurt

Former doctor Adam Kay's highly-anticipated TV adaption of his best-selling memoir This is Going to Hurt came to screens this month, but not without some controversy.

Following Kay's life as a junior doctor on a busy, and often overwhelmed, Obstetrics and Gynaecology ward, the show is a world away from the days of ER and Grey's Anatomy medical dramas, and has been described as 'darkly humorous' and 'gory' by The Mirror.

The seven-part series is set in the early 2000s, and has been widely praised for giving a raw and empathetic look at the sort of challenges NHS workers have to face in their day-to-day work - but concerns have been raised within the medical community over information on 'home dopplers' in the show which could put pregnant women and their babies at risk.
