Adam Kay

When a noxious hospital consultant dies of a heart attack, fellow doctor Eitan Rose smells foul play. But nobody else does, including some quite crucial players like the police and the coroner. Eitan's colleagues are already treating him with suspicion following his recent breakdown, and are sceptical of his increasingly wild theories. When another doctor dies in similar circumstances, Eitan becomes convinced there is more to these deaths than meets the eye. Is there really a killer marauding the wards or is Eitan losing the plot?Deftly told and deathly funny, A Particularly Nasty Case is the unputdownable debut novel from Adam Kay, BAFTA-winning writer and author of multi-million global bestseller This is Going to Hurt.

Nowa okropnie śmieszna książka Adama Kaya, autora bestsellerowej Twojej anatomii! Dawno, dawno temu… było całkiem zabawnie, o ile ktoś lubił nosić kolczugę albo ścinać ludziom głowy. Istniał tylko jeden malutki problem – lekarze nie mieli bladego pojęcia, w jaki sposób funkcjonuje ludzkie ciało. Dlatego w przeszłości usta płukano moczem, fryzjerzy odcinali swoim klientom kończyny, a ludziom płacono za puszczanie bąków (niestety, ta oferta już nie jest aktualna). Zatkaj więc nos klamerką (bo zapachy, na które się natkniesz, mogą cię zwalić z nóg) i zacznij odkrywać przerażająco prawdziwą historię grzebania w ludzkim ciele. Oto… Bardzo niesamowita medycyna!

Witaj w świecie 97-godzinnych tygodni pracy. W świecie decyzji, od których zależy życie. W świecie nieustannego tsunami płynów ustrojowych. W świecie, w którym dziennie zarabiasz mniej niż szpitalny parkometr. Pożegnaj się więc z bliskimi i przyjaciółmi… …i witaj w świecie lekarza stażysty! Spisywana potajemnie po niekończących się dyżurach, bezsennych nocach i przepracowanych weekendach książka komika i byłego lekarza Adama Kaya Będzie bolało to szczery do bólu opis jego walki na pierwszej linii frontu brytyjskiej służby zdrowia. Z zabawnych, przerażających i wzruszających zapisków Kaya dowiecie się wszystkiego, co chcieliście wiedzieć (i czego wolelibyście nie wiedzieć) o życiu lekarzy na oddziale i poza nim. Uwaga! Lektura tej książki może pozostawić blizny!

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.

Il Natale è alle porte, l'albero è addobbato, il cenone è quasi pronto... Ma circa un milione e mezzo di medici e infermieri del servizio sanitario nazionale inglese si stanno recando al lavoro, perché gli esseri umani non smettono di partorire, ferirsi, ammalarsi solo perché arrivano le feste. Questa è la storia esilarante, orribile e talvolta straziante della vita di un giovane medico nel periodo più impegnativo dell'anno: venticinque storie di altrettanti incidenti natalizi, spassosi, scioccanti e incredibili, che cantano le gesta – troppo spesso ignorate – degli eroi del servizio sanitario. Di turno la notte di Natale è una lettera d'amore per tutti coloro che trascorrono le loro festività in prima linea, alle prese con tragedie, nascite e morti, in quello che dovrebbe essere il momento più bello dell'anno.

Bienvenido al estimulante trabajo de médico: 97 horas a la semana y disponibilidad los 365 días del año. Bienvenido a un sunami de fluidos corporales compensados por unos ingresos económicos inferiores a los de un parquímetro. Di adiós a tus relaciones familiares, amorosas y a tus amistades. Bienvenido a tu vida como médico en prácticas. Tras cinco años sin ejercer la medicina y dedicado a escribir series de comedia para televisión, Kay recibe un aviso del colegio de médicos comunicándole que le van a quitar la licencia. Aprovecha entonces para rescatar sus diarios de médico en prácticas y hacer un repaso a sus años en la sanidad pública. El resultado es un tronchante diario no exento del mejor humor negro, lleno de anécdotas e historias protagonizadas por médicos, pacientes y administrativos asqueados y hartos. Una mirada irónica y desmitificadora de la vida en los hospitales que ha sido un fenómeno en Reino Unido y que pronto se convertirá en serie. EL LIBRO DEL AÑO EN REINO UNIDO «Hilarante y desgarrador a partes iguales.» The Times «Tan divertido como políticamente incorrecto.» The Independent

Isto Vai Doer é um relato emocionante, cómico, e assustador de quem esteve na linha da frente no Serviço Nacional de Saúde britânico, numa profissão na qual as horas semanais de trabalho podem chegar a noventa e sete, em que diariamente é necessário tomar decisões de vida ou morte e a vida pessoal é relegada para segundo plano, não existindo tempo para os amigos e para relações duradouras. Esta é a história pessoal de Adam Kay, que utilizou o seu extraordinário sentido de humor para contar a sua experiência enquanto médico interno no Serviço Nacional de Saúde britânico. Em 2010, após seis anos de formação e outros seis como médico, abdicou da profissão por sentir que as condições impostas pelo sistema eram extremas e irracionais, nomeadamente remuneração mal ajustada em relação ao nível de responsabilidade exigido, que tiveram um forte impacto na sua vida profissional e pessoal.

Do you ever think about your body and how it all works? Like really properly think about it? The human body is extraordinary and fascinating and, well... pretty weird. Yours is weird, mine is weird, your maths teacher's is even weirder. This book is going to tell you what's actually going on in there, and answer the really important questions, like: Are bogies safe to eat? Look, if your nose is going to all that effort of creating a snack, the least we can do is check out its nutritional value. (Yes, they're safe. Chew away!) and... How much of your life will you spend on the toilet? About a year - so bring a good book. (I recommend this one.) So sit back, relax, put on some rubber gloves, and let a doctor take you on a poo (and puke) filled tour of your insides. Welcome to Kay's Anatomy*. *a fancy word for your body. See, you're learning already.
