Adam Kay is studying to be a doctor. The book is his diary of this time (with names changed to protect those he wrote about). Kay chooses to become an OB/GYN thinking this will be an easier less stressful specialty. Much of the book is what you'd expect - long hours, working exhausted, and hoping to do no harm. For the most part the book is humorous and light hearted. The last diary entry is heart breaking and Kay just can't get over it. It is his breaking point and he decides to give up medicine. While much of the book is light hearted and funny I'm not sure I would label it "fun".
