Summary

Adam Kay's secret diary from his time as a junior doctor This is Going to Hurt was the publishing phenomenon of the century。 It has been read by millions, translated into 37 languages, and adapted into a major BBC television series。 But that was only part of the story。

Now, Adam Kay returns and will once again have you in stitches in his painfully funny and startlingly powerful follow-up, Undoctored: The Story of a Medic Who Ran Out of Patients。 In his most honest and incisive book yet, he reflects on what's happened since hanging up his scrubs and examines a life inextricably bound up with medicine。 Battered and bruised from his time on the NHS frontline, Kay looks back, moves forwards and opens up some old wounds。

Hilarious and heartbreaking, horrifying and humbling, Undoctored is the astonishing portrait of a life by one of Britain's best-loved storytellers。

Laugh out loud funny in places, traumatic and upsetting in others, exactly what you want from a medical/ post medical memoir。

**Listened to the audio book**I adore Adam Kay, and have read all of his books - well listened to them on audio。 I even got my Dad into them too。 Kay is just so funny。 You hang on his every word, and he has the ability to make you laugh as well as cry。This book is slightly different from his other 'memoirs' - it feels a lot more personal and really delves deep into Kay's mental health and post traumatic stress。 It looks at Adam Kay as a person, rather than anecdotes within his career within the **Listened to the audio book**I adore Adam Kay, and have read all of his books - well listened to them on audio。 I even got my Dad into them too。 Kay is just so funny。 You hang on his every word, and he has the ability to make you laugh as well as cry。This book is slightly different from his other 'memoirs' - it feels a lot more personal and really delves deep into Kay's mental health and post traumatic stress。 It looks at Adam Kay as a person, rather than anecdotes within his career within the NHS。There are still the laughter moments but there are a lot more tender moments within this book。 I think this is Adam Kays' most emotional and honest book - I reckon Kay would say the same too。 Enjoyed this book, despite the hard subject matters。 I thoroughly recommend listening to the audio version too。 I also would say that you should read Adam Kay's other books before this one, just for context - but you don't need to have read them to enjoy the book。 。。。more

Went to see him in tour and loved the book。 More serious than some of his others, but still lots of very funny moments, and a very important message。

Christopher Nethercott

A comedic book with the brutality of depression with a freight train of shock coming toward you that you don’t realise until the last chapter。

Kathrin Shawcross

Another enjoyable entry into the series from Doctor turned Author, Adam Kay。 Funny, wry, heartfelt and upsetting at times, this makes for an engaging read with much to enjoy for fans of Kays work。*I recieved an ARC copy of this book in return for a fair and honest review*

Yet again, Adam Kay has produced a book that had me laughing, crying, laughing some more and then sad that it ended!

leah

this book is strictly embargoed until publication so i can’t say much - but it’s as equal parts funny and gross as you’d expect an Adam Kay book to be。 this book is strictly embargoed until publication so i can’t say much - but it’s as equal parts funny and gross as you’d expect an Adam Kay book to be。 。。。more

Being as funny as This Is Going To Hurt, you expect the book without so many horrifying medical anecdotes not to 'Hurt' quite so badly, but the personal life suppressed by the medical profession comes into full and moving force here。 Being as funny as This Is Going To Hurt, you expect the book without so many horrifying medical anecdotes not to 'Hurt' quite so badly, but the personal life suppressed by the medical profession comes into full and moving force here。 。。。more

I was lucky enough to be sent a proof of this! As there is a very strict NDA that came alongside getting said proof, I can’t say much but I will say that this is an excellent book!
