This article explores themes of crisis, care, and vulnerability in the 2022 BBC series This is Going to Hurt.Arguing that the series is significant within the genre of medical-themed television because of its complex representation of a "broken" NHS, the article analyses the ongoing, gendered, and racialised dimensions of the public healthcare crisis it depicts.Despite the series concluding that the NHS holds the potential to provide universal care in the future, such a promise rests on eliding the unequal and precarious institutional realities the series has revealed.This suggests a feminist analysis is essential for diagnosing the gendered and racialised forms of labour and recognition within the healthcare system and resisting the differentiated forms of precarity a discourse of crisis can exploit and obscure
