About this audiobook

The number one Sunday Times bestseller.

Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas is a short gift book of festive diaries from the author of multi-million-copy bestseller This is Going to Hurt.

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat . . . but 1.4 million NHS staff are heading off to work. In this perfect present for anyone who has ever set foot in a hospital, Adam Kay delves back into his diaries for a hilarious, horrifying and sometimes heartbreaking peek behind the blue curtain at Christmastime.

This is a love letter to all those who spend their festive season on the front line, removing babies and baubles from the various places they get stuck, at the most wonderful time of the year.

complete and utter rubbish, don't know who you paid for the good reviews, But it must have cost a small fortune. Turned the audio book off after 10 minutes, how do I get a refund.

Not quite as good as the original "this is going to hurt", but still manages to be both emotional and funny. Worth. read / listen
