I read it when I applied to study medicine, then again in my first year, and then again in November 2021 after my first placement.
And my copy of Your Life in My Hands by Dr Rachel Clarke is dogeared from being passed around so many times.īut Adam Kay’s grim, darkly funny memoir about life as a junior doctor, This is Going to Hurt, stands out. Grey’s Anatomy depicts the drama of the operating theatre (not least when a patient is brought in with a bomb inside them). Call the Midwife has brought complex health and social issues to life, from vaccination programmes to illegal abortions. Grey’s Anatomy and Call the Midwife, medical dramas with their fingers firmly on the pulse, are common reference points. Sometimes, it’s these books, TV shows or films that inspired us to consider medicine as a career in the first place. A s a student doctor, there are a few well-loved texts that are a little different from our required reading.
