還記得那本鮮血膿液四濺、汗水淚水齊發，爆笑又心酸的英國醫療第一線回憶錄《This Is Going to Hurt 棄業醫生的秘密日記》嗎？
脫下白袍，抄起筆桿的前醫生，現暢銷編劇與作家Adam Kay，帶著他的首部小說回來了！
爛主管死於心臟病發。
從警方到法醫，甚至醫院裡所有同事都這麼認為。
除了研究醫師Eitan Rose。
事情並不單純，Eitan嗅到了陰謀的氣息。但在追查真相的路途上，最大的那顆絆腳石，是Eitan早就臭掉的名聲。他以酒精與藥物自行緩解躁鬱症，違反醫囑後帶來的一連串脫序行徑，讓他早就惡名在外，甚至差點丟了醫生執照。
惡劣上司因心臟病發倒下身亡，而Eitan懷疑事有蹊蹺，但早先才受到Eitan荒腔走板行為波及的同事們，對他那番幾乎離譜的推理抱持懷疑，只當他又處在病症週期裡…
化身偵探的Eitan，開始將同事一個個列為主要嫌疑人，並在他帥氣的曖昧對象，院內傳送員Cole，以及一位愛貓同事的幫助下，開始了一連串荒謬絕倫又綁手綁腳(這裡畢竟是醫院——但至少他想方設法得到了一張全院通行的門禁卡)的秘密追查。
然而，伴隨著躁鬱周期的發作，Eitan也逐漸失去對現實的掌控。
第二名死者出現，兇手在醫院裡嗎？兇手真的存在嗎？還是說，Eitan其實正逐漸失去理智？
When his toxic medical director dies of a heart attack, fellow doctor Eitan Rose smells foul play. Nobody else does, though, including some quite crucial players like the police and the medical examiner. So Eitan vows to uncover the truth himself.
But Eitan's own past and reputation are far from spotless, despite his budding relationship with Cole, a handsome hospital porter, and reluctant camaraderie with his office mate, Margaret-with-the-cats. As his colleagues become increasingly concerned about his mental health, Eitan's investigation spirals out of control. Could a killer really be stalking the wards? Or is Eitan making a catastrophic mistake?
For lovers of Listen for the Lie and My Sister, the Serial Killer, this fiendishly clever and deathly funny debut is filled with acerbic wit, lovable characters, and plenty of twists—alongside texts, transcripts, medical reports, and all the evidence you’ll need to help solve this particularly nasty case.
