Twas The Nightshift Before Christmas

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.

Quick Reads This Is Going To Hurt

“Esilarante, straziante, necessario. Un libro che fa ridere fino quasi a soffocare.” The Times Benvenuto nella vita quotidiana di un giovane medico: settimane lavorative di 97 ore, decisioni di vita e di morte da prendere, uno tsunami costante di liquidi corporei e il parcometro dell’ospedale che guadagna più di te. Giornate di lavoro estenuanti, notti insonni, weekend mancati e molto altro ancora… Le farò un po’ male è un corollario di situazioni tanto esilaranti quanto reali, che ci mostrano con stile magnificamente irriverente il dietro le quinte della professione medica. In altre parole, tutto ciò che da pazienti non avremmo potuto (e forse voluto!) sapere. Adam Kay è un comico e scrittore pluripremiato per la tivù e il cinema britannico che prima di approdare alla carriera creativa ha lavorato come medico. This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor è il suo esordio letterario ed è diventato da subito un best seller.

How to Be a Bogus Doctor

The brand-new, hilarious book from bestselling, record-breaking author Adam Kay. The olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people's heads off but there was one TINY LITTLE problem back then . . . doctors didn't have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked. It's time to find out why Ancient Egyptians thought the brain was just a useless load of old stuffing that might as well be chucked in the bin, why teachers forced their pupils to smoke cigarettes, why hairdressers would cut off their customers' legs, and why people used to get paid for farting. (Unfortunately that's no longer a thing - sorry.) You'll get answers to questions like: Why did patients gargle with wee? How did a doctor save people's lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages? What was the great stink? (No, it's not what doctors call your bum.) If you're sure you're ready, then pop a peg on your nose (there was a lot of stinky pus back then), pull on your wellies (there was a lot of poo there too), wash your hands (because they certainly didn't) and explore this gross and gruesome history of the human body! Praise for Kay's Anatomy: 'An enjoyably gross look at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun guaranteed' i 'Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about' Sunday Times 'Totally brilliant!' Jacqueline Wilson 'Fun and informative' Malorie Blackman 'Very funny - this exciting book is bound to inspire the next generation of medics' Sunday Express
