Adam Kay Knihy

Vitajte vo svete, kde má týždeň deväťdesiatsedem pracovných hodín. Vitajte vo svete, kde sa rozhoduje o živote a smrti. Vitajte vo svete nepretržitého vlnobitia telesných tekutín. Vitajte vo svete, kde zarábate menej ako automat na nemocničnom parkovisku. Zamávajte na rozlúčku svojim priateľom a vzťahom. Vitajte v živote mladého lekára. Nekonečné dni a bezsenné noci, prácou naplnené víkendy – o tom sú zápisky v denníku Adama Kaya, ktorý sa ocitol v prvej línii britského zdravotníctva. Jeho príbehy sú striedavo veselé, hrozné, ale aj smutné. Do podrobností a bez zábran v nich opisuje, čo všetko musel robiť a čím musel prejsť. Áno, zanechali mu jazvu na duši.

Tahle úžasně odporná učebnice biologie vás zaručeně bude bavit!Nechutné a neuvěřitelně vtipné dějiny lidského těla v podání autora bestselleru Anatomie od Adama.Kdysi dávno to byla fakt zábava, tedy pokud rádi nosíte kroužkovou zbroj nebo sekáte hlavy, jenže kdysi dávno měli taky takový MALINKATÝ PROBLÉMEČEK… doktoři tehdy vůbec netušili, jak funguje lidské tělo.Je na čase zjistit, proč si staří Egypťané mysleli, že mozek je jen nanicovatá nádivka lebky, která by se klidně dala vyhodit do popelnice, proč učitelé nutili své žáky kouřit cigarety, proč holiči svým zákazníkům uřezávali nohy a proč se dřív platilo za prdění. (Je mi to líto, ale dneska už vám za to nikdo nezaplatí.)Dostanete odpovědi na otázky, které by vás ani nenapadly, jako třeba:Proč pacienti kloktali čůrání?Jak doktor zachránil životy pomocí pračky, plechovky od fazolí a páru starých párků?Čemu se říkalo velký puch? (Ne, nebojte, doktoři tak neříkají vašemu zadku.)Jestli jste připravení, dejte si kolíček na nos (v těch dobách totiž byla všude spousta smradlavého hnisu), vezměte si holínky (také tam bylo hodně hovínek, co si budeme říkat), umyjte si ruce (protože oni si je tenkrát nemyli a jak dopadli!) a pojďte objevovat nechutné a příšerné dějiny lidského těla!

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 bogeys 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.

From the author of the award-winning million-copy bestseller This is Going to Hurt. Join Adam Kay in a countdown to the festive season, as he shares further secrets from his junior doctor diaries and shines a light on the unsung heroes of the NHS front line. Hilarious, poignant and eye-opening, this is the real story of life on the hospital ward at the most wonderful - and challenging - time of the year.

Nielekarz to najzabawniejsza, a jednocześnie najbardziej poruszająca z dotychczasowych książek Adama Kaya. Jest o byciu lekarzem i o byciu pacjentem. Jest o wysadzeniu w powietrze całego swojego życia i o zszywaniu go na nowo. Książka Będzie bolało okazała się fenomenem wydawniczym stulecia. Znalazła miliony czytelników, spośród których co najmniej pięćdziesięciu uznało ją za genialną. Na jej podstawie nakręcono serial telewizyjny. Jest jednak zaledwie częścią pewnej dłuższej, skomplikowanej historii Oto i ona! Nielekarz to prześmieszna, przejmująca i szokująca opowieść o tym, co dzieje się, gdy doświadczony lekarz postanawia odwiesić stetoskop na kołek, ale medycyna nie chce dać mu spokoju. To zaskakujące epizody z życia w szpitalnych murach i poza nimi spisane przez jednego z najbardziej utalentowanych brytyjskich autorów. To niepowtarzalna okazja, by przenieść się do czasów dawnej pracy Adama Kaya i zrozumieć, dlaczego rany, jakie po sobie pozostawiła, tak długo się goją. To humor ostry jak skalpel i szczerość, która chwyta za serce. Taki właśnie jest Nielekarz.

Do you ever wonder where the stuff around you all came from? No, not from eBay. I mean, who had the amazing idea of making a mobile phone or the annoying idea of building a school?
