This Is Going To Hurt on BBC One may record Adam Kay’s adventures and life, but we believe Shruti Acharya is the genuine star of the series. In episode 7, Adam Kay‘s life story as an NHS doctor came to a fittingly heartbreaking, yet joyful finale. The losses suffered by each and every person in the OB/GYN ward deserve more than a clap of appreciation and some slamming of pots and pans on your front door – and This Is Going To Hurt demonstrates that with its frank view of the world of 12-hour shifts. So, how does the narrative end? It was released in one enormous, the motherlode of a box set on BBC iPlayer, so those who want to binge-watch it all didn’t have to wait very long. We’re about to go over all of the episodes. So this is your final caution before we enter the spoiler area. Here’s what occurred to Adam and the remainder of the ‘brats and twats’ squad for the rest of you.
The Biggest Shock
In episode six of This Is Going To Hurt, audiences will be appropriately shocked when, after coping with a job from hell on her own, doctor Shruti Acharya commits herself. Shruti’s anxiety from her don’t ever ward shifts and the rising strain of her academics had been mounting for months, and it finally got excessive for her on the day she completed her examinations.
By the start of season, seven of This Is Going To Hurt, set two months after her death, her coworkers are compelled to carry on as if nothing has happened, even juggling to make time for her monument outside the hospital’s front entrance or racing off when their alarm clocks go off. Vicky Houghton, Shruti’s educational supervisor, is as heartless and insensitive as ever, addressing the tribute by mispronouncing Shruti’s last name, making jokes like a stand-up performance, and dismissing the tree planted in her memory. Adam confronts her about it later, questioning why there isn’t an inquiry or why the death of Shruti Acharya isn’t serving as a message to the hospital’s poor mental health and attitude. But Houghton rejects him, stating that there is no funding to change things and that there isn’t anything anybody can do but proceed with it.

Adam has lost his partner Harry, his home following heading back in with his mother, and possibly his job, on top of his remorse over his behavior toward Shruti Acharya. Adam has hardly had time to consider anything other as he continues to give kids left and right, even while one of the fathers is prattling about drunk in the room’s far corner. He even saves a baby who was about to die due to his quick thinking at one point. The only bright spot is that Mist, the baby he had prematurely by emergency C-section in the first episode, is now sufficiently well to go home.

Instead, when Adam in This Is Going To Hurt eventually appears before the commission, he delivers a speech in which he completely remembers Shruti and the brilliant doctor they lost as a result of the poor workplace conditions since becoming an OB/GYN ‘didn’t really feel like any type of future’ to her. He also criticizes the NHS workload, claiming that one doctor commits himself every three weeks as a consequence of the stress and that it is essentially a thankless job.” That should be a national f**king headline every time it happens,” he says, “but instead it’s swept under the carpets.” Considering what he said, he is not barred from practicing as a doctor. The issue is whether he still wants to be one. He removes Shruti’s registration from her locker in the locker room and puts it in his pocket as a reminder. He is also more understanding of a new doctor who pauses on the job.
The Big Goodbye
After everything that’s transpired, Adam has made a concerted effort to spend more time with his friends Greg and Emma as their wedding day (and baby due date) arrives. He also runs into Harry in a café and sobs about everything that has occurred. Harry is empathetic, and the two share a moment, prompting Adam to extend an invitation to Greg and Emma’s marriage to Harry as his plus one. With Emma’s kid due at any time, Greg contacts him frequently, concerned about every aspect of the pregnancy. As a wedding present, Adam gives Emma a sonic aid so she can hear the baby’s pulse whenever she is concerned. Despite their earlier antagonism, the two appear to be on much better terms now.
