It is a firsthand account of life working for the NHS.<\/p>\n<p>Kay said: \u201cI couldn&#8217;t be happier about working with Sister to bring <em>This is Going to Hurt<\/em> to television. Jane, Naomi, Katie and the whole team are fantastic, with a brilliant vision for the show, and a hard and rightly won reputation for producing world-class television. I&#8217;ll try my best not to ruin their reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De Pear added: \u201cAdam\u2019s book is a visceral and hilarious reminder of how brave, ridiculous, beautiful and stupid human beings and the systems they create are. I snorted with laughter on every page and was left completely heartbroken. We\u2019re honored to be able to work with Adam on adapting his vision for television.
